Sunday, May 30, 2021 – Another Busy Day, Friends Arrive

Hi Darlin’!
Woke up an hour before the alarm, so after awhile I got up and started on some things that needed doing. After I got the chores done and had breakfast, Anthony arrived just after nine (a remarkable feat!), and we were off and running. Today’s job was to mark the yellow trail and finish off a missing loop on the green trail. We managed to get most of the yellow done before we ran out of markers and paint, then we decided to divide to conquer, and after a quick trip to his house for supplies, he dropped me off to ride the blue trail and mark that on my own because it was too narrow for his side by side, and then he went off to finish the yellow trail. It took be longer than I expected, because the trail had really been rerouted because of bad storms a few years ago, and I had to ride it twice to make sure I had it right, but finally got it done, hopefully well enough that few people will get lost. It was nearly 4:30 by the time I got back to camp, but when I arrived, Maggie and Sandy had arrived, and Callie and her mom were keeping them company. We chatted for a bit, then got busy putting up the tent for Maggie. Sandy had already put up her cot tent, and the temperature was dropping like mad. We ran out of time to have dinner so we decided to wait, and headed off to the riders’ meeting at the pavilion. Anthony did a great job, I thought, and so did all my friends. He even included the bit I added about people pushing their manure all the way back in the manure bin, people just keep dropping it near the entrance and it leaves so much space empty it’s ridiculous. Anyway, it went well, the gals headed back to their respective camps, I jumped in the truck to go to the office to get my wristband since I didn’t have time to do it while the office was open, then got back to camp where the gals had already started cooking. We made short work of dinner, chatted some more, then finally broke up for bed. I’ve had my shower and I’m off and running to bed now! Love you sweetie! Good night!
