Graveyard Point
Near Marsing
Hosted by "Wanderers" Patty and Stasia
and their trusty steeds Honey and Bozo

If you think the Owyhees are beautiful (which I do), then this was another beautiful ride!
There was enough breeze to keep the flies and gnats away (LOL), and almost everyone
had a great ride. There was good food, good friends, and Patty's fantastic door prize topped it all off!

Friday Night

Saturday

Sunrise (by Kathy)

Camp from #1

Shorty ready to go

The clouds were interesting

Heading up towards #5 (I took a different route than others - LOL)

The view from 2/3 of the way up

Camp way below and Kathy and Tracy heading out towards #2

And up some more

Following a "road" cross country

It just cut off a corner, but was less rocky

#5

#5 in the distance as riders coming from #4 would have seen it

It's a long open road from #5 to #4

"Happy Trails" Robin on Scotty (photo by John)

"Three Amigos" (minus 2) John on Shorty

It was a little "breezy" as seen by John's beard and Shorty's tail

Looking back - #5 way in the distance

Looking forward towards #4

#4 in the distance and a neat canyon farther away

Cows along the road, so we went cross country

Hot to Trot at #4 (photo by Kathy)

Sagebrush Mariposa Lily - There were lots of them around #5

Hot to Trot coming from #4

"Hot to Trot" Darell on Chica, Rita on Ricki, Josh on Roxanne

Perfect timing! Just in time for Tracy to open the gate!
"Lucky Ladies" Tracy on Raz and Kathy on Bridger

Tracy opening the gate

Trying to figure out which "gate" opens

Uh Tracy there is a little rattlesnake heading for that corner of the cattle guard

I couldn't get a good picture of it. Scotty walked right over it but it had a mouse in its mouth so didn't strike!

On to #3

"Die Hard Originals" Candy on Sissy and Mike on Jimmy

"Zipper Lips" Barry on Bit, Raina on Dually

Tracy and Kathy headed for #3

Breezy! But at least there weren't flies.

Lots of cows in the area (Photo by John)

Looking back down the hill towards #2 as the other riders would have seen it

My favorite kind of gate - an open one!

I took a different route back than the other teams took out
because I thought it was less steep and it was also more interesting.
