Hi Darlin’,
Had a great night sleep, and actually woke up ahead of the alarm feeling just about normal, at last! I got busy doing the final packing, though Flash was still whinnying for Apollo, though nowhere near as much as yesterday. I topped the water off in the RV from the truck tank, then topped off the truck tank, hoping I have enough now to last the whole week. Got the trailer hooked up, stopped at the dump, then a quick stop at the Post Office in Indiantown for a package. I’m going to do a demo of a new kind of horse boot called Flexboots, I’m a little concerned about the road riding and all the trash that is typically roadside, and I haven’t been happy with the last set of Cavallos because they keep rubbing Flash’s bulbs raw, and the package had the boots in them. Everything timed out perfectly, and I arrived at about 12:15, just after they opened the field, evidently. The email said there would be a sign, but I missed it, so I had to turn around and come back. The road leading into the field had a narrow opening, so I had to be careful to not go into the ditch or hit the gate post, but I just managed it. Then there were ditches on either side of the raised roadbed going in, so I had to find the lowest point I could and sidle in a little sideways to avoid scraping bottom. It’s essentially just a great big cow pasture. I hope none of the other overnight stops are any worse than this, it’s going to be dicey! Once I parked, I discovered I had parked almost right next to Lynda, who had been on the OTL ride last weekend, and her friend Wendy, whom I had met a long time ago at Colt Creek. We chatted for a bit, but I quickly put up a small paddock for Flash and settled down for the afternoon. I actually climbed into bed and read and napped a bit, and it got pretty hot today, hoping it’s not this hot all week! Nice breeze, though, that helped a lot! Had dinner, watched a little TV, now I’m off to bed nice and early, just to keep my sleep rhythm in sync with what I will likely have to be doing this week. So off I go, quick shower and bed! Gotta scrimp on water, hoping to make the whole week without having to fill up the truck tank, don’t want to have to unhook if I can help it. Good night, babe! Love you!
