5-5-16 Mima ~ Big Loop ~

Been tearing the front room apart, texturing and painting a week off from riding, (insert the crazy face here)  !!  

Thank the Lord, and Denny I took the afternoon off and rode and rode and rode,, 13 miles !!!  I didn't want to come back ;)

The smells were so wonderful, the colors are beyond vibrant and oh, so very quiet.......  

The big loop 13 miles :)

4-21-16 Heading East @ Bingham Creek

Mel and I took off a little early today, I was able to leave work a little earlier and we headed up to the trails.  I had found some more trails, so we went and explored those and then I took her to see the lightening tree.   The bugs were really ACTIVE so we decided to stay out in the open, where the breeze was helping us fend them off. 

The sunset on the way home was wonderful,, 

Thank you Lord, for all the blessings

Our tracks 12.0 miles 

4-17-16 Exploring the 1700 Lines

Darcy and I out exploring new trails!!  

Darcy's first time up at the Bingham Creek Trails, and as you see,,, lovin' it!

We ran into some friends, that were heading out, well they thought they were heading out.  Good thing I asked them, and had some extra maps on me.  We got them heading back in the direction of their vehicle.  Then off down the trail we went!!  

Exploration Station !!!  

After some beautiful trails so very well maintained by the Enduro~Kings <3

We popped out onto 1725 line that dropped us onto the main line. 

We hopped that till we got back to the creek and trail paralleling it.

Our tracks 10.7 miles

4-10-16 Kennedy Creek

Kennedy Creek trails are very interesting, though we only rode

6.2 miles.  We did steep climbs and what goes up must come down. 

We just climbed up to the top to see if we were going the right way,,,,  and we weren't..  so we went back down.. 

The Olympics are always a treat,, whether we are backpacking through them or viewing them from the backs of our ponies.. 

Heading back, using the power line road 

4-8-16 Ponied

Both ponies in the trailer,,, 

so,,,, we pony the pony :)

Anyone who says,, "you can't work 2 ponies at the same time",,

just doesn't know what they are talking about,, 

Sure you can,, and listen to tunes and take a picture.. 

you just have to hold your face right.

That's what my granddad used to say to me about catchin' fish,,

"you gotta hold your face right"

:)

3/30/16 Ivy and Sandi getting to know each other

 

I started out on Ivy, and about half way through our ride Sandi switched and finished out the ride on Ivy.  And they connected <3

3/29/16 Beautiful Evening Ride

Riding into the sunset,,,, 

Peeled out of work a little early to enjoy

a short ride at sunset, the deer were out and moving all around the clear cuts. 

At the south end of the Olympics, sun setting on the ridge.

3/28/16 /Just the Three of Us

Things I saw, and liked today 

This very large lonely tree, just hanging out in the middle of a clear cut 

The most wonderful bridge, made safe for the ponies by the Enduro Club,, they are the bomb !!  :)

beautiful Powder <3

never ride alone with these two,,,, my homies :) 

Awh ,,, what a treat,, to end the ride with

6.5 miles did some exploring to, went across the Super Bridge and checked stuff out !!! 

2/9/16 Sneaked Out of Work Early

We three amigos !!!  

Our boss let us leave work early today!!  We did get all our work done too.. ;)    

Trav, was so happy, kiss please.. 

As Amy says,,, instead of the proverbial, between the ears shot, I went with a from over the rear shot !!  

It was a short ride today, only 5.6 miles,, but it was perfect in every little tiny way !!! 

If you look at this long enough,,, it looks like a bunny rabbit's nose...   well it did to me !!  

Goofy, I know, but it made me smile,, it's the little stuff..

2/8/16 Found Some Holes

Heading out to immerse ourselves in this most beautiful day !!!!

Mel, probably wishes she had taken me up on the ibuprofen before we took off,   but she is a little stubborn like that.. ;)  

We found the most stupendous trail, the only disappointing part is that we also found a hole in the trail and it isn't is a place you can by pass .... creek on one side, and swamp on the other... 

I hope all the Enduro guys see it and hopefully fix it,,, I plugged up the largest part with a 3 ft. long alder round, that I had to flip end over end to get it down the trail to the hole. All it will do is let people know to slow up and see there is an issue or obstacle. 

Our joy before we found the hole...

 

1/31/16 Last Weekend of January

Rode with me seester all week end !!!  Tons of fun :) 

1/30-31/2016 
1/30/16  Saturday was a 7.1 mile day

Almost back to the trailer, and it started to rain,,, it's all good !

 It rained on us a little at the beginning of our ride and a little at the end, but all points in between were great.  

Mel got along splendidly with Brown Pony :)  



1/31/16 Sunday  8.4 miles today

It looked to be turning out well in the weather department.  So we decided to hit the trail again.  

The rain has made for some wet trails, but the footing is good and solid.
