The horses are watered at a pool some 20 mins. to the
S.W. but there is only enough water to last about one more
day, after which they will have to go 3/4 hours to S.E.
The water we now use is about the color and nearly as thick as a
cup of chocolate. It is the last dregs of a small pool from which
drink sheep, goats, camels & men.
