- Trail: Weiser River Trail - Galloway to Poison Ivy Rock
- Miles: 5
- Riders: Self
- Horses: Jack - J'Lo
- Dogs: Shade and Hank
Notes: Had J'Lo all loaded up and ready for shooting practice just in time to unload and put her away. Practice cancelled due to the rain. I figured I'd be all domestic and stay in the house. I baked a few cookies. Worked on some leather crafts for our IMO ride in September. Did a few dishes...domestic stuff sucks. It wasn't raining that hard. Before it became a habit, I thought I'd better load up the critters and hit the trail. I rode Jack and ponied J'Lo. She will get a workout tomorrow during practice (indoor arena so little chance of being rained out.
We put in at Galloway dam. There were half a dozen rigs with boat trailers. I'd not seen that before. About a mile up the canyon an airplane buzzed us. I waved. The pilot tipped the wings and soared up the canyon. Kind of a pretty sight - I can imagine even prettier from where the pilot sat.
The wind and rain picked up at different times but nothing terrible. We turned around just above Poison Ivy Rock and headed home. About a mile from the trailers we met up with a young gal and her little kids. The oldest, a boy about 3 years old, and the other a 5 week old baby! Jack turned on the charm and almost convinced the boy he might like to ride a horse. Maybe not today - but maybe if he could ride them back at the barn....or something. Then maybe he'd like to ride that horse. The lady asked if we'd seen any rafters. Her husband was rafting with a group and should be back at the rigs any time. That answers the question about the half dozen rigs with boat trailers.
Cutest kid ever. Jack slobbered all over him, kissed the baby on top the head like he was running for office and we headed for home.
