Another beautiful ride! Beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, and fun with horses and friends!

Friday Night

Such a lovely area

Ginger - 2023 IMO's Cutest Puppy!

Watch out, don't let her lick you, she's been carrying around horse manure!

That warning came too late!

Ginger is one of Tracy's dog-sitting dogs

Kirby and Hondo play ROUGH!

Nap time

Saturday

Such a beautiful morning - really cool clouds!

Heading out

Sasquatch and Wolves? (Scotty and Diesel thought so)

No, it's Kathryn and her dogs walking to #2

"Renegades" caught us

Christine and Mystic, Everlee and Maverick, Lee and Shadow

Christine got this lovely picture of us with Scotty peeing

Then, I got this lovely picture of them with Mystic peeing

"Renegades" leaving #4... I waited to take the picture so I didn't get Christine peeing (LOL!)

"Hot to Trot" Tracy and Raz, Darell and Chica coming in to #4

#3 is up there by the radio tower

"Hot to Trot" heading to #3

Such beautiful scenery! You can see Hwy 95 way down there (right side)

Monument for Charlie Brown's grave on French John Hill,
the actual grave is about 1/4 mile down a draw to the east, under a big pile of rocks

Everlee's boots kept falling off, so she rode in just her socks

"Oreos" passing "Renegades" Candy and Sissy, Mike and Jimmy, Zach and Swish

"Three Amigos" passing "Renegades" Toni and Nemo, John and Shorty

Christopher and Snip

"Zipper Lips" caught us at #3 - Barry and Bit, Raina and Whiskey

Here come "Three Amigos" and "Oreos"

Beautiful scenery between #2 and #5

And "Zipper Lips" caught us again just before #5
Raina was surprised to see us there - she didn't know we went to #4 before #3

So many beautiful blooming wildflowers

"Renegades" leaving #5 headed back to camp

Joanie and Raina getting ready to take a bearing

Barry looking for the plate

Scotty was on a mission! He was walking so fast the whole day.
I didn't realize we got so far ahead of Joanie and Diesel - Diesel is not buddy sour at all

Oh, I guess we should wait for Diesel

"Zipper Lips" passing "Renegades"

"Faithful Diehards" Susan and Cadillac, Melissa and Danny passing "Renegades" on their way out

We thought this way looked like a more interesting way to go (not faster, just more interesting - LOL!)

Camp!

Eating yummy potluck food, telling stories of today's ride and past rides, and some puppy snuggles

Uh-oh, here comes Susan walking her horse back without Melissa and her horse...
Melissa was dumped and her horse ran off!

Melissa came back in the UTV (she was sore, but not "badly" hurt)
and Zach lead her horse back (which had eventually come back to her while she waited for help)
