It seemed cooler to me this morning, so I decided to take a short ride on Apollo before the heat of the day built up. There was a very short loop, just over two miles that I wanted to try, because I thought it might be a good one for Hubby if we come back here some time. Turned out to be quite perfect for that, most of the grades were quite manageable, most of the trail was dirt and mud, though it did come out on the road (with no signage as to which way to turn, except in 50 feet a sign that said "No Horses, $100 fine." Obviously I turned around when I saw that, and quickly realized that I was just beyond the entrance to the horse camp, so I headed back there on the road. Less than an hour, but when I got back to camp there were 4 or 5 livestock trailers with riders saddling up to get out on the trail. Lola was busy training one of the kids how to throw for her, but I let her be while I put Apollo away (he was brilliant again today, of course!) We started Hubby early on dialysis so we could enjoy an earlier evening, and I'm happy to say it all went pretty well today, with only a little bit of low blood pressure problems, which is our biggest concern. I packed up a few things in preparation for our departure tomorrow (as much as I could stand in the heat), and we kept the air conditioning going most of the evening, since we knew we had enough propane to last the night. Looking forward to moving north, though, as we are in search of 70 degrees, not 90. Unfortunately, we left home about a month too late this year because of all the work we had to do on the house to get it ready for sale. Not going to happen again!!!
