Hi Darlin’!
I can’t believe Trish and I put on another 16 miles today! Again, a lot were on new trails, which was my plan, and each and every trail had it’s own unique characteristics that made it memorable in it’s own way. What an incredible place this is! This is one of the few places I’ve been where I can honestly say it would take me a long time to get tired of it. Though I’ve managed to do most of the trails, it would take another week to do them all again backward, and then the variety of options available to switch routes is simply awe-inspiring. I gotta say, this place goes to the top of my list! All fabulous footing, only ran in to very rare spots of gravel that never lasted long, deep forests, rows of pines, fabulous 300+ year old trees with widespread branches that seem to go on forever, I just can’t say enough good things about this place! Around every corner seemed to be a whole new feeling. I’ve also arranged to get a few freshly-baled hay from the weekend camphost’s family, which is a load off my mind. I’ve also decided to stay an extra day because the store that has my Balancer is closed on Monday because of the holiday, and rather than drive to Sandy’s, then have to turn around and make a 90 minute round trip the next day to pick them up just doesn’t make sense to me, so I’m going to take a couple of days off to recover from all this riding! Though I still might take Apollo for a short ride to a couple of segments of trails, which is about all I have left to do, and I have one or two small repair jobs on the trailer I can get done tomorrow and Monday as well, but it will be much quieter here after the weekend, no doubt! Since I hadn’t taken anything out of the freezer, we decided to run into town and have a meal for a change, opted for a nice little Mexican restaurant next to the Walmart, where I filled up with fuel even though they weren’t affiliated with the Walmart and I couldn’t use my shopping card for a discount. A nice meal, though, we were both starving! Trish is leaving in the morning, but finally decided to take a shower, so I refilled my water tanks, both in the trailer and the truck (which I ‘ve been using to fill up the horses’ water bins), so I should be able to put hoses away, as well as most of my tack. It was a bit warmer today, but not at all uncomfortable, that’s certainly contributed to the spiritual experience we’ve been having, which is what it’s been feeling like. Sensory overload on the color green!! It’s been a fabulous, busy week here, and have enjoyed every minute with my company, but will enjoy it being quiet for a couple of days as well. Well, signing off, ready to take my shower and go to bed, for sure! Love you, babe! Good night!
