Mothers day bike ride

Police Horses at the city park
Sheep would rather eat soft clover than cactus
A few lucky ducks got all the crackers this morning. If you zoom in you can see large barrels and other object on the shore here too.  (see previous post)

We went down to the lake to feed the ducks.  Saw lots of bass.  Stopped to check out the sheep on the way back.

What’s with all the barrels at Lake Mead?

So as they pump water out of Lake Mead and the water levels keep dropping, old debris shows up on the new shoreline.  Last week we made the news as a body was found in a barrel.  They estimate this was underwater since the 70s or 80s.  In this town, probably a gambling debt.

Here is the barrel from the news story
Here is a barrel in the background of a recent picture. Those are the same tires in the background

But as I was reading I saw the map – they found this latest barrel right where we go down and feed the ducks every Sunday.  Holy cow.  I went through my duck pictures and found a barrel in the same area.  My picture is farther inland so it may be a ‘different body’.  Yikes.
