This is the journey that has to be made every day from Dunamis Ranch to the White Mountain Apache Tribe. West to Show Low, then south through Pinetop-Lakeside. Your clue you are on the reservation is the Hon-Dah Casino. From that point forward, no affluence, fast food restaurants or public restrooms!
The tan area is the reservation. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to go from the Ranch to White River. Beautiful (long) drive! |

The service began with the children singing three songs. |
These guys are really paying attention! |
We prepared and shared a pancake breakfast with the church. Thanks for putting your hair up and not getting it in our food, Gina! |

Leisure time Sunday afternoon
 |
 |
 |
For leisure in the afternoon, some went exploring on site with the ATV, some went fishing (although they had no proof, other than some sunburn) and, surprisingly, no one took a nap. The prairie dogs didn't have to worry about hiding from Chad, but David sure did mean business! |
With the great weather that we're having, this will likely be an every evening occasion. Unlike Indiana, we've had 70s in the day and 40s in the evening. |
