Hey Babe,
Well, I didn't have to wait long for a warmer, sunnier day. Well, warmer, at least. The sun came out occasionally, but it was mostly cloudy. Started in the 50's and worked it's way up to about 70 by the middle of the afternoon. With all the riding I've done in Goethe, I'd never been to the Apex trailhead by the forest headquarters, but since it's one of the trails that I'm responsible for now, I figured today was a good day to give it a look. Turns out we needed to do a LOT of work on it. We rode the long green trail, and had to cut up and move quite a few trees and limbs, cut back some growth that was sticking out into the trail, put a few new stickers on the markers, battled with some brambles, and waded through miles of water, but managed to get the trail in somewhat better shape than it was. Not perfect, but a heck of a lot better. Not sure I would willingly ride this trail again, unless it's after about a two month drought. Got soaked up to my knees, and Flash was in knee-deep water so often it turned his fur brown. Lola enjoyed playing in the water, but I think even she was tired of it by the end of our 12.5 mile ride. Took over 3.5 hours, and had to use my little pruner quite a lot. The weather was fantastic, though, so I never got too cold even with being wet. Still another trail or two out here to do, that will be on the next nice day. Got back, got everybody settled, had a nice dinner, and my evening proceeded as usual! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
