We left after school on Friday. It's only about an hour and a half from the house, so it's an easy place to go on a whim. We arrived in plenty of time to set up camp and get the horses settled before dark (loving the time change). Marilyn treated us to some homemade Mac-n-Cheese and hotdogs over the fire. Afterwards, we roasted marshmallows and sipped on a few adult beverages.
The next morning we saddled up and headed out.

Our trail boss, Cory
My girl! =)
Chele & Susan in the back of the pack (trying hard to keep up)
Marilyn with her friend
What a gorgeous place to ride. The views are amazing.
We headed back to the ranch for lunch. Chele had a flat tire on the trailer to deal with. It looks like we may have run over something right before we arrived at the ranch on Friday. We were super lucky that we didn't have a major blowout on the highway. We may have been stuck stuck on the side of the road for a while since the spare was flat. (Mental note - check the spare INSIDE the trailer regularly)
After lunch, we headed back out for another ride.
Some more friends of Marilyn's
Going over the bridge
Trying something new here - videos. =)
Cory & Beauty
Listen to Cory as she crosses the water. She is so proud of herself.
Going up the bank. Listen to Cory and Kathryn as they conquer the hill. Too cute!
Rocky going strong after 6 hours. Old man still has it at 19 years old.
Our afternoon adventure was soooooo much fun. I am extremely proud of Cory. She was a true "cowgirl" and overcame her self-doubt and fears. She led us up and down large hills, crossed the scary bridge, blazed through vines and water, and even started leaving the group to find her own paths.
Marilyn treated us to another delicious meal Saturday night.
The weather did not cooperate Sunday morning. It started raining about 6am and continued throughout the day. It was all good though. I managed to get home at a decent time and clean up around the house before watching a few good movies with Erik and Cory.
HERE are the rest of the pics.

Go Cory!!!! I didn't recognize the trail where Cory crossed the water, but I did recognize the hill where she got excited! Glad you guys had a great time. Missed ya !
It was after the bridge on the left. You go down the steep hill, and then it's straight ahead. We found several new places to investigate. However, it was getting near dark, so we had to head back. We were going to go back out Sunday, but....
We missed you too. Looking forward to the AG challenge and McCulleys.
How fun! I loved the video! :-) Great job Cory with all the new adventures! I loved the "Woo hoo" at the water crossing and the hill! Ha ha!
Karen and Tripp
