Hey Darlin’!
Woke up early, read for awhile, then finally went back to sleep, not waking up again until after 9:00. Got all my morning chores done, then saddled up Flash, using the new saddle, and left with Lola out of camp. Basically just meandered around again, didn’t really have any destination in mind, but managed to cobble together a ride nearly eight miles long, mostly on the roads and the Shore to Shore trail, though I did manage to find a stretch on an old two-track again. I’d like to find some more of those! The saddle was very comfortable, so that will become my regular one from now on. Once I got back, I took off the saddle and rode Flash over to the “beach” and gave him a good rinse off before putting him away, I heard from Pat that she was taking the kids and families tubing, so I joined them with my kayak, which worked a lot better with only one person. Also, the bottom section had deflated the other day for somer reason, but I had pumped it back up the other day, and held up just fine, so not sure what that was about. It was a lovely ride down the river, a lot more leisurely, though I did have to keep stopping and waiting for them since I was aerodynamically superior to their tubes and kept getting ahead of them. Pat had this huge inflated duck, but she didn’t spend much time on there, some other got cold and she swapped with them, and ended up essentially walking and occasionally floating the rest of the way. I had it easy with the kayak, staying warm and dry, right up until we reached the horse camp beach, where two ladies lay in wait with water guns and squirted us when we came in. Nice to have a welcoming committee! It was 5:00 by then, so I settled down with a few computer chores, then went to a 7:00 meeting, and I think we’ve got it worked out for a trip to ride from Hopkins Creek on Thursday. While others are having bonfires and other social events, I came back to the trailer to finish up with some uploading of photos from the cattle drive in December, which for some reason I never got around to, and now I’m just about ready for shower and bed. Good night, babe! Love you!
