Hi Baby,
I had another great night sleep last night, despite the number of trailers that came in yesterday. It’s amazing what room darkening drapes and earplugs can block out! I had a leisurely morning, putting some hooks on Lola’s safety vest to she can’t roll it off, and I still haven’t heard back for Equity about my questions, though the guy claims he sent me a response yesterday, I still haven’t got it, even when I asked him twice. Sigh. Well, everything seems better after a ride, so I saddled up Apollo and headed out on a circuit I had GPSed. Nevertheless, I still got turned around a cut off a corner I had planned on. The trails here aren’t very well marked, and as I mentioned before, there are no markers on the map at all, just dashes for all the bridle trails, so that’s not any help. It wasn’t a bad ride, but there’s still a lot of mud out there, though not so much on the trails I took today. It was a short ride, less than five miles, but it was enough. As soon as I got back to camp, after I rinsed off Apollo and Lola (who loves nothing more than to lay down in every mud puddle she could find), and just about the time I was finished, a DNR guy came along to tell me I had to remove my fence. We had a very civil conversation about the dangers of a hitching post, and he ended up calling his supervisor, who came out and furthered the discussion. They weren’t willing to let me highline on any trees, but there were a few sites that weren’t being used and they said I could put my highline between a couple of posts out there. It was a ways from my campsite and I had just finished filling up three water tubs (there is a site that’s reserved between me and the spigot, so I figured I should stock up this morning, topping off my house tank and filling all three big tubs), so in the end, in order to cause less trouble, I decided just to put my highline up on the posts at my site. Not ideal, but it was a lot easier than moving everything over, then having to carry everything all the time. Anyway, got that done, then settled down to read for awhile. I sent a text to my childhood friend Mary wishing her a happy birthday, and she called and we chatted for awhile. Lots more trailers came in, this place is just about fully booked, what with it being Labor Day weekend. Got the horses fed, and now I’m all set to settle down for the evening. Looking forward to more of that delicious ice cream! So I’ll sign off a bit early, since you know what the rest of my evening will be like! Love you, sweetie! Good night!
