Good Mares and New Friends

Today was just an absolutely lovely day. Mid 70's, sunny, light breeze, no humidity and no bugs. A perfect day to take out Marie. I didn't have any real destination in mind other than to stick to the trails with the easier grades and less rocks for Marie. We headed out by Black's Cabin and crossed Black Ridge Rd. and headed down 184. I took several trails going south and rode to Elbow Tree. From there I crossed back over Black Ridge Rd. and rode to Initial Tree. Just a little way before getting there I caught up with 2 other riders. A woman out with her young granddaughter. I rode in to Initial Tree with them. We tied the horses to the high lines and took a long break there. I had a good time chatting with the woman and her granddaughter. Both were very nice. She has a permanent camp at Double M so we exchanged numbers so we could get together to ride sometime. I rode back on 185 along the creek. We did 9 miles and were out for 4.5 hrs.

As always it was a wonderful and relaxing ride with my good old girl Marie.

High Country Trail

Went out for a very nice ride with Delbert today. Another lovely day. We rode down to the creek and up the long hill that connects into 185, the High Country trail and went back 185 the lower trail. We did 5.5 miles and were out a couple hours.
