Hi Sweetie,
Went to bed good and early and had a great night sleep right up until my alarm went off pre-dawn. Got my chores and breakfast done just before the volunteer work crew started gathering. Organizer Jo managed to persuade the Forest folks to let us use one of their gorgeous John Deere diesel side by sides, and before long we were all heading our separate ways to clear some trails, though which ones we’ll end up using is still a work in progress. I managed to get a map with ALL of the various roads and firebreaks on it, not just the horse trails, so I’m going to do some analysis and see if there are any practical options that are different from last year. We worked our butts off until 1:30 when we finally got back to camp, Jo gave me all the trail markers so I’ve got my work cut out for me! Apparently there’s a lady who was away this weekend but has a side by side we can use next week, so I want to check out some optional trails (if I can find some good routes that make sense) and maybe even get some marked that way. Meanwhile, once we finished up there, I went into town to pick up as many essentials as I could, including some more hay, because I have to drop my truck off at the repair shop on Monday, and they can’t tell me what day I’ll get it back, could be as late as Friday! I’m all stocked up now, though. Got my shopping done at Walmart and picked up horse feed at Tractor Supply and Sparrs, so I’m good to go. Got back to camp just in time to feed the horses, have dinner and settle down for the evening, exhausted! I’ll be taking some ibuprofen at bedtime, just because I know I’d otherwise be waking up in the middle of the night with muscle aches. Heading for the shower and bed here very shortly! Good night, babe! Love you!
