Hi Sweetie,
Had a wonderful night sleep again, I’m really catching up on my zzzzz’s! After chores I sat around my neighbor’s campfire chatting, but after awhile I was anxious to go on a ride, and they all seemed to be waiting for some more folks to show up, so I decided since I didn’t really want to go with a big group anyway that I’d go ahead and take off. Saddle up Apollo and headed out the nice trail I liked out of camp, and managed to follow my GPS plan for awhile, but eventually I couldn’t find one of the trailheads and ended up going along a tarmac road for awhile, which took me down to Wilcox Lake, then from there I couldn’t find another trailhead so I took a gravel road past a horse riding facility until it reach another tarmac road. I was going in generally the right direction, but not exactly, until I finally found where the next trailhead was, I recognized it from yesterday, so I ended up pretty much back on track. Different route, but I finally managed to make my way past camp. Not really liking this place that much. A lot of the trails have been recently bulldozed (I’ve been told it only happened this past week!), and there are a lot of renengade trails not on the map, with no markings for the actual trail so it’s inevitable that one would get lost in here. I think I’m going to take advantage of the offer to be trailered down to Deam Lake and take the 17 mile ride back, though I think it might be frustrating if I have to hold Flash back the whole time. I’m told it’s just marked as the red trail most of the way, so I’ve very carefully mapped it, and I hope my GPS holds true so that if I decide to break out from the group I can still find my way back okay. Fingers crossed! I’m more worried about Lola getting anxious, can’t decide if I should leave her here. I might, since we’ve gone the last two days and a rest might be good for her, and I don’t want to have to worry about her on the trail Anyway, the ride was okay, not my favorite, the steep hills, poor markings and a map that lacks a lot of detail, plus the bulldozing, hasn’t exactly thrilled me. Got back around 4:30, sat around the campfire for a bit, had dinner, came back and did my Snowy River for them, now I’m headed to bed early since we’re supposed to be getting out of here between 8 and 8:30, so I need to shower and get to bed soon. With that in mind, good night, darlin’! Love you!
