Friday, June 2, 2023 – Prep for Departure

Hiya Sweetie!
While Flash and Lola rested, I spent the day getting ready for tomorrow’s departure. I went through all the stuff that had been in the storage compartments under the mangers that I had taken out for the welding, went through it and got rid of some junk, re-packed them so they look a lot tidier and more organized now. Did a couple of loads of laundry, filled up all the water tanks, since getting water during the ride may be problematic, but I should last most of the week with what I have now. Gave Flash and Lola a bath, which, of course, lasted about two minutes before they were both rolling in the dirt (washing animals, biggest waste of human time and energy ever!!) Put everything away that I could, got the truck all lined up, all I have to do is drop it on the hitch and we’ll be ready to go. it’s only about a three hour drive, though I have one stop to make at a state park to pick up a Michigan Recreation Pass, something I didn’t realize I needed until I read through the material today. Can’t believe I’ve been here for nearly two weeks and there hasn’t been a drop of rain here, though it looks like they had a little along the trail we’re headed to, so hopefully that will keep some of the dust down. Everything here is just covered with it! It’s been unseasonably hot and dry here, don’t mind that when I’m riding, but sure would be nice to cool things down a bit! I’m sure Flash appreciated his day of today, he’s been eating constantly, so I’m hoping he’s putting on some weight. Watched a feel good movie about a wild horse tamed for a do-or-die, save-the-farm horse race, but am soon headed to my shower and bed. Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
