As you all know, Jericho and I had not had much time to get to know each other before the trip. He is a little more hyper than Whiskey and can be a little bit contankerous. I have to say, after what we have been through with the traffic and some of the other difficulties that we have had, he has come through like a champ. He knows now that he has a job to do almost everyday... He usually leads out, but he keeps his eye on Whiskey and doesn't like it when he loses sight of Edie and Whiskey. I sometimes have to make him do little maneuvers around tumbleweeds to get his mind back on his job and pay attention to me. He is doing better. I told Edie that he might have to have therapy when we get home and seperate him from Whiskey! He might have to put him in a detox center so he can get clean from Whiskey! Maybe it will require intervention... Only kidding... Jericho is doing great. I am gaining a tremendous amount of respect for the little roan Quarter Horse that I am sharing my journey with right now. He does anything I ask of him, and usually does it willingly. I am really proud of him.

We are leaving Lucerne Valley today and I will miss it. We have met some wonderful people here. The desert is beautiful here and the weather is hot, but there is usually a pleasant little breeze that makes it comfortable. Well, guess we better get going... Happy St. Patty's Day.... Andi
