Trail log: 8-29-2020



  •  Trail: WRT - Shoepeg 
  • Miles: 7
  • Riders: Self - Jones - Dusty
  • Horses: Jack - Honor - Diesel
  • Dogs: Savannah and Dealer


Notes: We put in at Shoepeg with the intention of crossing the river and riding back on the other side. The crossing was so overgrown you couldn't see the numerous T posts sticking up well enough to do it safely with a green trail horse. We ended up riding back the way we came. Dusty rode Diesel...at least I think it was Dusty - he was so far ahead of us it could have been Clint Eastwood for all we know. Diesel can really travel. I bet he has a 4.5 MPH walk without trying. Jack averages 3.2 MPH. Huge difference - but I let him stretch his legs at a  nice brisk 23 MPH run. 

Normally we stop at one of our favorite cafe's for lunch. Today's lunch was the best ever. Jone's had picked up a pizza and made fresh blackberry crisp for desert. I about foundered.
