Hey Darlin'!
Had a good night sleep, but still got up pretty early, got busy with chores and getting everything packed up, then got slowed down with a conversation with one of the remaining campers, so much so we ended up being the last two campers to get out of camp! A nice chat, though, Mandy was interested in my freewheeling lifestyle, which I always love to share. Finally got out just before 10:30, made it over the bridge with no problem (much easier going out than coming it!), stopped for fuel nearby ($5.09/gal for diesel, which turned out the be the cheapest price I saw all day!), then stopped at TSC to look at and ultimately buy the cordura Aussie saddle I've been eyeing on FB marketplace. It's a bit heavier than I expected, but still more than 10 pounds lighter, so it's an improvement, and the girth and saddle blanket accompanying it were more than worth the price I paid. It's not exactly the same size, but hopefully it will still work on Flash. If not, I can always sell it again! Only had another 75 miles to go after that, so I was pulling into Clark State Forest before 1:00, and was fully set up in about 90 minutes. I found a lovely site where I decided to set up a paddock rather than highline, with enough sunlight to get some solar power, and give the horses some grass. I'm close enough to the spigot to reach it with hoses, so I filled up my tank and the horses' buckets, and there are two manure bunkers within easy reach, so this is going to be a comfortable site for the next two weeks. Settled down for the afternoon and evening, satisfied that I can relax for a bit, and get some work done as well as getting some riding in. Can't wait to try out my new to me saddle! Good night, my sweet! Love you!
