Hey Babe!
Well, I’m almost there! I wasn’t sure if I would finish the Teal Trail in one day, since it’s the longest, but I managed to get her done! Amazing, too, since I got a late start. I headed out around the fence line, then remembered I was going to check one of the front tires on the tractor since I had noticed it seemed low, so I came back and checked it, and sure enough, it was down quite a bit, so I pumped it up with my slightly defunct air compressor (it only works now on low psi) and it brought it up in no time, so I was back on the trail by around 10:00. This is the trail that goes along the power line on the west border, so I kind of cheated a little bit and put a spot on the base of every tower, figured it was a public utility with a public right-of-way, so why would they mind a little paint to mark a public trail? Especially since it’s the only way to keep the marks on the correct side of the trail to work with the system. It’s a long, straight line, so it didn’t take me too long, not my favorite section of this trail. By the time I reached the southern end of it, I was really hot, no clouds today so I was broiling in the sun, so I took a side trip down to the group camp and pumped some water all over my head, which felt great! I even took off my T-shirt and soaked it, that felt nice and cool for awhile, too. I got back into camp about 4:30, did a little clean up then sat down in the AC and re-hydrated for awhile before taking a shower. Grilled a sausage, then fed the horses and did my rounds. About ten minutes after getting back from that, it finally started to rain (it had been predicted for 1:00 this afternoon!), but I’m very glad, we need the rain, though I wish it had been cloudier earlier in the day! Anyway, settled down for the evening, will undoubtedly be in bed early again tonight. Love you, sweetie! Goo night!
