Notes: Really fun day. Sunny sky's and warm temps. Was supposed to be 81° and very likely reached it. Met up with the Lee gang at the head of Hermit Gulch. I arrived early to take Shade on a shorter hike before the rest of them got in.
Jack was full of himself and fell in love with a pretty blonde mare who was equally enamored with him. He did OK though - despite being a ball of energy. Until he left me standing afoot while he dashed off after his woman - hobbles and all. That horse can run faster hobbled than some horses can without. I figured if he wanted to move his feet that bad, I'd let him. He thoroughly enjoys it when I give him the freedom to run. Not sure if he learned his lesson but he was less enthusiastic on the way back toward the mare. He's a fun horse to ride, for sure. Sometimes it's best to close your eyes, ride 'em like you stole 'em and hang on for the ride.

| The creek was ripping. Sunk almost to my knees and Jack is a tall horse. |
