We leave Doug and Karen's after a morning tea and head to Lake Pleasant Regional Park for the day.

We pass right through Wickenburg on our way. The Hassayampa River clearly hasn't seen rain in a long time. We think these river beds are largely dry year round except when a monsoon hits and apparently it has been awhile since that has happened.

Doug tells us Wickenburg is the 'roping capital' of the world. It is very apparent that anyone with a horse who loves to rope comes here.

Driving on the way to Lake Pleasant, these big boys all of a sudden start to appear.

| Saguaros start to appear. |
We are told Fireman's Cove will be the best for kayaks. The water is at an all time low as seems to be the case everywhere around here. It's a nice paddle out and about through the coves. Fairly uneventful with the sighting of only one Great Blue Heron.
