| Gold Creek July 2009 God blessed us with beautiful weather. The trip started out with Two flat tires, one on my travel trailer and one on Shirley's travel trailer. Shirley was lucky, the others notice her flat tire right away. Unfortunately my tire was in ruins because I didn't feel the blow out. Layne had to go back into town on Tuesday, so she volunteer to get the tires fixed and get more supplies. Katie step on my big toe on the first day, We all think its because I took her on our trip. We have been during this trip now for four years and every time I have gone she has been injury so i would have to take my husbands horse. My toe was pretty darn sore for two days!!! Layne ,however had to out do me! Nell step on her toe and broke it and also broke her thumb. Layne had to go home a day early because of the injury. I went by her office to pay her for my tire and I must say the thumb was a very pretty yellow/blue color. The last day of riding, was very hot so we decided to ride in the late afternoon. We came upon a beaver pond right next to the two track road we were riding on. The beaver was just as curious about us as we were of him. He would swim around and then flap his tail and dive under water and than come back up. This went on for about 5 minutes. |
| Friday, we pack up and headed home. Terry had to clean up the travel trailer and head back out on Saturday morning for Tooele Utah for Barrick reunion. Where do we go next year? The Sierra's? Great Basin National Park? Or Jarbidge Wilderness area? Layne and Shirley were the newbie's this year on our girl trip. They said they are hooked I hope so because the rest us had a wonderful time. Happy trails to all until next time!!! Update: 2010 is Jarbidge Wilderness area |
| June 15 2010 Green Mountain Ride This trip started out with Terry's long awaited new horse trailer. The day didn't start all that well when Katie decide she didn't like the new horse trailer. She ran out like a freight train (trying to load her to go) and fell backwards and scrape her head as you can see in the picture. We got to the trail head and there was the ATV club unloading so it was crowded. It was a beautiful day. Melanie, my granddaughter who is 6 came with us, got tried after two hours so instead of hearing her complain the rest of the trip, Sue and I turn back. Layne,Joyce and Darlene went on to the lunch stop. Which wasn't much further but you can't tell a tired 6 year old that and have her listen. We got back to the trailers got the horses unsaddle and just crack open a very cold pop and the others were coming down the road. Joyce was walking which wasn't unusually, Most of us walk a little from time to time to stretch our legs. Joyce was soaked from head to toe, Cowboy decided to drop down into the creek like a rock, not getting Joyce any signs of doing that. Joyce gave us one exciting moment on the trip and Sue and I had to miss it. Of course the other two didn't see it either because they where a head of Joyce. Happy Trails to all, and hope to see you on the trail soon!!!! |
