I have gone MIA again (for good reasons this time). It's riding and camping season!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported me on the Miracle Ride at
Rock Springs. The event was a big success.

| Together, we raised over $1000. |

HERE is a link to KD's description of the ride. (She is much better with the details than me.)
A few weeks later we headed to
McCulley Farms for the weekend. We opted to avoid the crowd and skip the fall ride this year. Instead, we had the whole place to ourselves. It was nice!

| Heading out. They have some of the nicest trails in FL. |

Early in November, we headed to River Rise for the annual Thanksgiving ride with the Sante Fe Trailriders.

Last weekend, we explored a new place,
Rima Ridge, with some friends I met through the Cracker Ride. The trails reminded me of Pumpkin Hill - nothing spectacular but still worth the trip. The campground was fantastic, and you ca't beat the price ($10 a night). We definitely plan to go back and do some more splorin.

| One side got too close to the fire, but the other side was delicious! |
