Saturday, January 22, 2022 – Recon Day at Corbett

Hey Darlin’!
Up early this morning, got my chores done and headed out to JW Corbett to meet Anita and Scott and his cousin Todd so that we could motor around and scout out trails. Scott had an ATV and Todd has a big 6-seater side by side, which, if I had known, I would have brought Lola along for the ride! I left her back at camp on her tie-out, I was worried that if I left her in the trailer, she’d tear it up, which seems to be her tendency lately. Needless to say she was happy to see me when I got back! Anyway, we did a whole lot of wandering around, trying to find an alternate route to the canal, and so far, no luck. Ran into a lot of water, too much for the vehicles, not surprising considering it rained a lot overnight, so hard that it woke me up at 4:30 this morning, and went on for quite a while. We were out all day, and it was a cloudy, occasionally drizzly day, not the best weather for this kind of exercise, plus it kept getting colder throughout the day as well. They dropped me off at Camp I around 4:00 and I got back just before 5:00, where I was greeted by a happy Lola with cold ears! I got the horses fed and blanketed, as it’s supposed to be wet and get down in the low 50’s, not a good combination, the finally settled down for the evening. I had leftover calzone from lunch yesterday, watched a little TV, now I’m ready for shower and bed. Tomorrow the plan is to trailer Flash down to the east side of Dupuis and try to find better trails coming in from that direction. Even though the vehicles got stopped by deep water, it’s not so bad that horses can’t get through, so I just need to find the best alternative on horseback. There’s only about 2.5 miles missing on the overall trail, but that’s quite a long stretch through cypress swamp, though I don’t think it’s all that bad, just a short section. I’ll know better tomorrow! Meanwhile, I’m off! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
