Well, everything I remember about this place from our last trip here is true. The trails are wonderful! Hubby just wanted to take a short ride today, so I planned a loop about 5.25 miles long, and we took the dogs with us. The roads that I remember being sandy were still sandy, but with all the rain, it was pretty well packed, so we weren't sinking anywhere near as deep as I remember we had before. Once on the trails, despite the rain, the dirt was hardly muddy at all, and even in the few places where it was, it was never more than half a hoof deep, so it was wonderful! We got lots of trots and canters in when we were on the wider trails and roads, and some lovely walks and jogs on the narrow trails, of which there were many. Gorgeous! Mostly pine forest, with a few areas that deciduous and some were more open. Really enjoyed it! The dogs came along as well, and they just keep getting better and better. Lola listened to me as we approached the one road we had to cross, and we made it all safe and sound to the other side. Got back before 2:30, had a light lunch, and spent the afternoon reading (Hubby) and writing (me) and napping (the dogs, and Hubby). Fish for dinner tonight, freshly caught two days ago!
