Thursday, June 24, 2021 – Travel Day to Middle Fork State WMA

Hi Babe!
Once again had trouble getting to sleep, but made up for it later on by sleeping a little later. Was up by 8:00, and because I did so much prep work yesterday, I was on the road by 9:30, which means I arrived at Middle Fork by just after noon after a nice, uneventful drive. There was only one other trailer in here with three girls, so it didn’t take me long to find a spot up on a hill. They have highline posts with cables already on them, which I don’t particularly like, not to mention they were VERY high up, no chance of reaching them without a ladder, which fortunately, I have! Put my own highline up for my boys, then just put a spring lock and a ring up for Coco, which worked out just fine. I’m very close to a water spigot, so I filled up all the water, and just got everyone settled in, got my chairs and awning out, had a short visit with the neighbors, then came back just as the rain started to come in. I had left Apollo on his anchor and Flash nearby, but then some man in a truck came by to tell me that my horses had to be tied up (really? There’s no one anywhere near me, but okay, fine), so naturally that was when the deluge hit, so by the time I had my guys on the highline, I was wet through. He immediately disappeared, don’t know who he was but he didn’t look like anyone official, not sure why I even listened to him. Thanks a lot! Settled down for a quiet rainy afternoon, mostly reading until dinner time, got everyone fed, including me, then relaxed for the evening. I’ve arranged to go riding with the girls tomorrow, and since they have stock horses, it will be on Apollo, who needs to be ridden anyway. Then I’ll take a quick trip to town for shopping. Good news is that will the rain, at least it’s not hot today! Put my solar panel up in hopes of sun in the morning, but we’ll see. Meanwhile, time for shower and bed! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
