Took 5-1/2 hours including a half hour break. My Husband drove out to our mine claim today so I loaded hay and water on the truck and got a head start. He still got there about 2 hours before me and spent more time there than he wanted to waiting for us to get there. It seemed like forever!
Finally arrived after 2pm. Mocha didn't drink as much as I thought he would, barely a quart. I gave him almost a half hour rest than headed back. Robert left shortly after me and passed us. It was funny, Mocha wanted to catch up with our truck.
Walked most of the way and a little trotting now and than.
I was SO SORE by the time I got home! It was almost dark by the time I got Mocha home.
A hot bath and 3 Excedrin after dinner and I feel a little better.
Anyway, here are the pictures...
Flat and boring the entire ride but we will be doing the hills next weekend. I was riding alone so needed to be where I was sure to have a good phone signal and easy to find if anything happened if I didn't check in.
If I EVER do this ride again I'll bring someone to keep me company to beat the boredom and have Robert bring a camp stove and food to the claim for a decent lunch break- OR include tents and bedding set up camp for the night!..
