Hey Darlin',
Another beautiful day on the trail! Today I decided to take Lola with me, since there's no one else camping except the camp hosts, and no one on the trails. I was taking the orange trail, which was supposed to be about five miles, which I figured would be a good distance for her, but turned out to be about six and a half. Still, we were moving very slowly since we were clipping and lopping and pruning, and she was way ahead of us most of the time, moving very well! There were a couple of creeks and a lake, so she was able to get water, and it was a lovely ride. We left just after 10:00 and were back at 1:30, so not a terribly long ride, just perfect! They do have nice trails here, though the map is ridiculously bad, but Kathy said they're in the process of updating it, so it should be better soon. Of course, Flash was very good, though he's been getting in the habit of going really slowly in the beginning, making me think he's not feeling well, but that all disappears once we start heading back toward camp. Too many rough rides lately, I think, but he was better today than yesterday, since it's pretty easy riding here. Got back to camp and started doing a bunch of repairs. My stirrup had started to come apart again, so I put a washer in with the Chicago screw, hopefully that will keep it from pulling through. Did a bunch of mending on my saddlebags, my horn bag, and my sheepskin saddle cover. Started packing up what little I had taken out, I did a load of laundry, just because I have water and electric, a luxury I'll be without for awhile after I leave here. Put some water in the truck tank just in case. So it was a busy afternoon after the ride. Since I didn't unhook from the truck, it should be easy to get out in the morning, though I do have to stop at the dump, which is in the regular campground. Don't know how hard or easy the access is, so that should be interesting. Looking forward to Sandhills! Patsy says the trails are all in good shape, so I don't think there will be any trail work to do while I'm there, so having to fetch water and propane while I'm there will be my only challenges. Might get some rest! It's supposed to be a quiet campground, so Lola and I are looking forward to that. Just having my usual evening! Good night, Sweetie! Love you!
