Hi Babe!
Another warm night and hot day, unseasonably so, really. Called your sister today, meant to do it yesterday but the morning got away from me. She’s doing well, was actually in a physical therapy session when I called, so it was short and sweet. Got out on the trail fairly early to try to avoid the heat, happy there was a nice breeze, which helped tremendously. I did some hair scraping off Apollo before I saddled him, his winter coat is coming out big-time, but I’m sure he’s a lot more comfortable as a result. We went for just about four miles, just a bit over an hour, just to give him some exercise and to check out a couple of trails closer to camp, though at first he fought hard against leaving camp, so we had “words.” He finally saw things my way. It seems I’ve done all the horse trails, now I’m on to the so-called hiking trails, though evidently, it’s up to the landowner (i.e. SFWMD) to determine which trails are hiking and which are horse. Hoping I can convince James to let them all be both, which seems more practical. I kept seeing markers for a blue trail, though there had never been a blue trail on the map that I can find, but it seems it’s a connector for the white trail from a small campground. Anyway, it’s on the map now! I spent most of the afternoon on the computer trying to create the final version of the trails on Google Earth, as well as to see which trails I need to confirm for sure. Still a lot of work to do, both on the ground and on the computer, but at least I’m a little more organized and making progress. I also downloaded an interesting program called Relive, which takes your GPS information and makes a video out of it, and matches it with whatever pictures you tak along the way. That could be very useful if I can figure out how to match up my digital camera photos rather than my phone. You know how hard it is to take pix from my phone when I’m on Flash, I don’t have enough hands! Finally settled down for the evening to a couple of episodes of the latest series. I ran the AC for awhile, which was wonderful, experimenting with closing all the windows to see if it would help. Maybe a little, but of course it started getting warm once I turned the AC off. Supposed to have a cold front come through overnight, hopefully it will be a bit cooler tomorrow. Anyway, time for shower and bed! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
