After our earlier ride, and additional rain, we knew the trails would be a mess, and didn't want a repeat of spending so much time looking for lost boots, so we decided to stay on the road as much as possible, since the road isn't too bad a ride anyway. We headed down Maple Lane until we reached the road closed sign, then swung east, missing our turn and running into the paved road, so we turned around and found the turn we missed, which was along a little used road, but the footing was still good, and that led us to the crossover on Mohawk, which meant we had to climb a bit, and I only lost a boot once, until we finally got back to Maple Road for the journey home. Not an exciting ride, but at least we didn't have any unnecessary drama, and got a few trots and canters in, which is always a good thing! The dogs behaved beautifully, too, with Billy doing a grand job of keeping up, despite his stubby little legs!
