Out and About..in the backyard




WOW!


We went out yesterday to one of the first places my girlfriend Gemma,(the one that started my riding craze up 3 years ago)took me several times.
Mollala River Corridor. Or "Hardy Creek", as I know it.
It is very close to drive to and just amazing views.
So we took "Loony's Trail", off to the right...never gone off to the right before, only the left.
Come to find out ,after the fact...that it is called a "More Difficult" trail.Hense why Gem never took me there!
Har....And, I may have never taken that trail if I had read that first!

My mare has this affliction with walking...if she looks a direction, she steps that direction..and if there is not a trail- in that direction -0-because of a cliff side- or something like that...whoa...there she goes!
I was up on Mount Hood one time on a trail like that....even when I got off and walked straight in front of her ...she almost walked off. Maybe it is her eyesight..or no mortality...like children have??!!
Anywho..my mare and I have determined to have solid ground on both sides of us when we ride.
So even though she stepped- once too many times -over in the wrong direction and I had to dismount, I loved that trail. It had a cool bridge and man those trees were neat!


We came across some die hard mountain bikers that thought I had a gun in pocket..nope, just a
cell phone!






We cooled out by walking down the last road home just loose! Be looking for you out there!


As Always~
