We head back up the Apache Trail to the Burnt Corral Campground and put the kayaks in. We head down-stream for about 45 minutes and then paddle back up past our truck and then upstream to a beautiful beach and have lunch. Chris said we needed to be off the water by 2pm as winds were going to pick up and he was right. The last 15 minutes back to the truck were super windy right on the nose...touch paddling. Still an excellent day.

We stop at the downstream end of the Theodore Roosevelt Dam on our way back to our trailer. This is one big spillway that can release a lot of water from the lake when needed.
We cross the Lake Roosevelt Dam bridge along highway 188 to get back to our trailer. It is an iconic bridge, second to none other in the Americas.

Later in the afternoon, Mary and Gille Strasbourg (friends from Alberta) invite us to the Airbnb they are at for the next month. It's a cute little acreage on the outskirts of Tonto Basin with goats and chickens. Mary makes us 7 Can Soup...delicious.
