| Argentine Cactus in bloom at Celia's place |
- Trail: Aguila-hood
- Miles: 6.0
- Riders: Self - Celia
- Horses: Drifter - Raven
- Dogs: Groot
Notes - Left early in the AM to beat the heat. Met Celia at the halfway point between Williams and Pete Rd. Drifter did well for being his first time riding down the road alone. He was watchy - but more curious at all the new sites than spooky. We rode down some back-roads...well, pretty much all the roads around here are "back roads" but this one was more back-roadsie than others. A pack of 6 or 8 dogs came flogging toward us as we passed one house. Groot dropped to the ground flat on his belly and showed no aggression at all. He probably outweighed the entire pack's combined weight but he did the right thing. They barked and flitted around until we got past the house...then another half dozen or more dogs kenneled in the back of the house chimed in. Some serious animal hoarding going on. It could have been a rescue but I've found a thin line between some rescues and hoarding. Anyway...we managed to get by them with little incident. We opted to find another way back to my place. I whipped up a batch of crepes for breakfast and hauled Celia and Raven home in my trailer.
Dan calls my place "The Cafe Next Door" when he and Robyn are here for the winters. I found this old headboard(?) in the desert last year. I drug it home and made it into a sign. Not 100% done - but you get the idea.
