Millstone Lake Ride

Sally and I wanted to join the endurance group today but once again the weather forecast was for bad weather. The decision on riding or not was put off until Saturday morning at 7:00. I got word from Keith that the ride was on. It was raining. I talked with Sally and we decided to go for it. I hooked the trailer up in the rain, we loaded Lily and Zak in the rain. We drove to Honey Hole... in the rain. The rain let up just about the time we unloaded Lily and Zak. So, we groomed and saddled up. Keith arrived soon after we got there. We rode to Millstone Lake. That's a place I've been wanting to get to. A road there washed out exposing some very cool rock formations. We moved right along planning to do 20 miles. We moved out pretty fast. There was some muddy spots but plenty of good footing too. We had one nice long gallop on a service road. We rode by Sand Cave, then to Millstone Lake. From the lake we did an really beautiful loop. We ended up cutting our ride a bit short at 15 miles when we got a call from Gaby to get out of the woods because we were about to get hit by a storm. She was right and we got back to our trailers just in time. It was a great ride!
