Hi Sweetie!
Had a pretty good night sleep, woke up a bit early, got my chores and breakfast done, then got Flash saddled and headed out just after 9:30. The forecast was supposed to be for a lot of rain, but it wasn’t bad when I left. I had a long loop through the northern section of the park planned out, totaling about 20.5 miles by the time we got done. A lot of it was on shell rock roads, there were a few grassy sections, then some sections that were recently tilled up fire break. In other words, nothing that I can consider my favorite kind of trail. No single track trails anywhere, except for the Florida Trail which horses aren’t allowed on. Sigh. It hardly rained at all, I probably had my slicker on for a total of about 8-10 minutes of very light rain, followed by long periods of drying out, so I’m glad I went, everyone else in camp stayed in because of the forecast! Flash was brilliant, a bit less speedy than the ride the other day, but we still got all that done is barely four hours, so not bad. There are some sections that have beautiful live oak trees covered with hanging Spanish moss and occasionally gorgeous ferns, but it’s still is rather boring riding, sorry to say, even by Florida standards. At least it’s warm! And the nights have been great, in the mid-50’s, so no complaints there! Got back, rinsed Flash down, had an early dinner, then joined the group at the campfire again. Now I’m settled down and ready for my shower and bed. Good night, babe! Love you!
