Colorado River Aqueduct
Topic: Personal

Bruce and I went on an inspection tour of the Colorado River Aqueduct by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

The area near where we were staying also supported a population of burros, descendants of those who were released into the desert after the construction completed in the 1940's.  A small herd came to the camp to investigate; they were tame enough for us to feed with apples but feral enough that they would not allow too much petting, not to mention riding (Bruce's weekend ambition was to catch a burro and ride it).
