Sunday April 16th 1978
88 miles from Walt’s to ranch.
Off at 8 for Wickenburg through Scottsdale. Stopped at Rex Jr. & Jane Bills near Rural and Bell roads. Had to backtrack to pick up chicken in Sun City and got to the ranch at 12:30. Jackye and family and Wilda and I in Suburban and Mary with Walts and headed for Alamo Lake another 50 miles over secondary roads. Lake much larger than usual and Kent said he had Japanese gardeners out all day Saturday planting the hills of Owl’s Clover. Had tailgate picnic, boys fished, Mary and I wandered and photographed. Back to the ranch and settled in the bunkhouse.
