And so we got to
Devil's Thumb, where there was good hay left over from the WS50
the previous day. For some reason I didn't take photos there, or at Deadwood
a
few miles down the trail where we were able to pump water from the new well
into a
thoughtfully provided bucket for the horses to guzzle from. They have moved
the
hand-pump from Devil's Thumb well to the Deadwood one (the vet check [and water
well]
are not at the cemetery as in the past - they are actually maybe half a mile
up the road
closer to Devil's Thumb/Foresthill Road
Here we are, starting down the
innocent-looking trail out of Deadwood.
