Hey Darlin',
Another busy day on the trails! Today, Flash and I did the 14 miles green trail, which was in very good shape except a couple of markers that had fallen down and a couple of spots that will need a little TLC with markers. There are plenty of markers out there, so mostly what I've been doing is just trimming branches and short trees that are blocking (or will soon block) markers, especially with the leaves coming out now. Occasionally, I'll move some larger limbs that are across the trail, but for the most part, I've never seen such well- marked (almost overly-marked) trails in my life! Just a couple of spots to fix and it will be just about perfect. The green trail is much more like what I expected here, only occasional road riding, the rest is through the woods, a lovely forest, mostly pine, of course, but with it's share of hardwoods as well. Almost entirely sand and grass, the footing is excellent for a barefoot horse. We made good time, out by 10:45, back by 2:00. Stopped by the office to buy a pass for Sand Hills State Forest (I need a day pass to go on the red trail), but they didn't sell them there anymore, so I went online to do it. Amazingly enough, they actually have a wifi signal here, so I've been streaming all my TV from their wifi, though my computer can't find it unless I'm sitting outside. With such a beautiful day today, I was happy to sit outside to do my computer work! Tomorrow, unfortunately, is due to be much hotter, and we have the longest ride yet to do, the red trail. The only trail left after that is the 12-mile blue trail, and I figure if I do that Tuesday morning, I'll have time to do laundry, ride, then go into town to do my shopping and getting my spare tire replaced, hopefully. Anyway, it's a beautiful evening here, but it's going to be a long hot day tomorrow, so I'm heading to bed early! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
