Hi Babe!
Well, all of my planning and network finally paid off, with Kari picking me, Flash and Lola up at 8:30 and running us all over to the trailhead on the west side of the forest so that we could ride the Pine Torch loop. Pam, whom I met the other day, joined us there, and we gaited off on a perfectly lovely trail, with lots of waterfalls and ferns and beautiful trees, very, very nice! Surprisingly, the footing wasn’t too bad, all the rain drained off pretty well (as evidenced by the full creeks and falls), we took turns leading and following, which was really good for Flash, it was just a very nice, fun ride. We ran into a few other riders on the trail as well, as it was a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky, temps never got too hot, just perfect. I was worried Lola would be tired after fifteen miles yesterday, but she kept up just fine, with her leading the way while Kari’s Aussie trailed in back, so it was just perfect. Got back to camp by 2:00, leaving the afternoon to relax a bit, I let the horses graze for awhile, but more folks came into camp so eventually I had to put them back on the highline. Other than filling the truck water tank and doing some prep for my ride tomorrow, it was a pretty low-key rest of the day. I’m heading to bed extra early, which I’ll tell you all about tomorrow. Anyway, a great day, the kind that make me adore living on the road at a trailhead! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
