Walkabout 2020- Day Twelth

Water arrives, driving on some bumpy roads, and wild horses

Morning fun… before the water delivery

Water has become scarce in Sand Wash Basin. There are currently four natural and one man-made water sources. The Wild Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin were able to get permissions to provide supplemental water. They decided to augment three existing waterholes that are spread out to reduce impact on the environment. This is the waterhole on 126E.

Van Gogh- son of Picasso at Lake Pond (67). He looks so much like his sire.
Two bachelors at Oasis.
The road less taken… definitely need to have really good tires!!!

Anya hiding from the heat

The final light of day isn’t good for photography- even with a tripod, the images aren’t very clear. We have fun with our iPhone which work surprisingly well…


A Walkabout tradition: S’Mores. Mmmmmm

Our light is flashlights or luminAID. It is a solar powered inflatable lamp-we have only charged it once. It will also charge a USB device if needed. It’s soft light is perfect as we unwind from a long day of photography.

Tomorrow is our final day in the Basin. We thankfully were able to stay in Colorado the entire time and really immerse ourselves in the Sand Wash Basin Wild Horse experience. We’ve taken nearly 25K photos, and there is still tomorrow. It has been an amazing experience. We are already planning next year’s Walkabout 2021.
