- Trail: Dry Creek Ranch
- Miles: 5
- Riders: Self - Darrell
- Horses: Drifter - Jewel
Notes: Well - the cows are back. We hauled up to the DC Ranch and commenced to gather them back up and move them into the forest. For some reason, Darrell's normally solid little mare, Jewel, was a pain in the butt. It appears she fell in love with the ranches grey gelding. We had just gathered them into a group when Darrell took off up the mountain out of site. I didn't know if I was supposed to hold them and wait or keep going. I waited for a while...then kept going. I pushed the group to where you turn up and head toward the forest and the cows split up...some went across the ditch - the others into the brush all over the place. Still no sign of Darrell. I was about to go in search for him in case he got dumped when the ranch owner pulled in. He said not to worry about Darrell...he'd be fine. He saddled his grey gelding and we proceeded to re-gather the cows when Darrell came walking in, leading his mare. She never did calm down much. Darrell was pooped from the day before so we pushed the cattle just through the gate into FS and left them - knowing full well they would be back. Darrell went back later in the week and repaired the guys fence where the cattle were sneaking through. Drifter did great. I think he likes gathering cows and could not care less if we get abandoned to figure it out on our own.
