Hey Darlin’!
What a fun day today! I started out by plotting a trail route based on Google Earth, which showed trails that I included, though most of those turned out to be hiking and ski trails, but cyclists were using them too, so I figured as a multi-use trail, horses were okay. Well, probably not, but as I’m fond of saying, they gotta catch me first! It was a lovely ride, with only one dubious point when we had to cross a boardwalk over a bog, and it probably wasn’t built for horses, but we made it over fine. Probably wouldn’t want to try it on a heavier horse though! We went just under 11 miles, most of it through lovely forest and single track trails, and it was a nice ride with Lola along. When we got back into camp, there were a lot more horses and horse trailers in camp, as folks were starting to arrive for the event that starts tomorrow. It wasn’t long before I was chatting with some friends from the earlier rides (two Janes and Pat), and when I suggested going kayaking, they all jumped at the chance. Half an hour later we were heading to the launch point, two hard kayaks and my inflatable, which Pat joined me in. Turned out the creek was a lot lower than normal and was quite shallow in spots, so we had a lot of maneuvering to do, but it was a great time! We all enjoyed it immensely. It was a beautiful day, and we passed a lot of tubers as we went down the creek. Arrived in camp around 5:30, and Jane ran me back to my truck. After I had dinner I went back to visit with them and discovered they were playing Euchre! At last, a Euchre game to play! I sat in for Pat after their game ended, and the next game lasted about an hour, simply because conversation was our primary activity, the game quite secondary, and it went all the way to a 9-9 tie before Jane and I won the last hand and took the match. What a great day! Looks like it’s going to be a fun week! For now, though, I’m ready for shower and bed! Good night, baby! Love you!
