Trail Ride on Thursday

We're riding again after a few weeks hiatus--Joyce had doctor's appts. and I had jury duty. But today we're riding in Laguna. We're leaving early, so I have to get ready now

Back again....

What a great day. The weather was perfect and the trails were beautiful. Unlike Cuyamaca where the pine trees are all dead and falling over, the Laguna traila are still beautiful with green meadows and large pine trees. We went out on the Red Rooster trailhead, a new place for me although Joyce had ridden there before. There were many running streams that we had to cross. Usually Doc is a champ at crossing water, but today he felt compelled to cross a 2-foot stream with a 4-foot jump. Whee! That was an E-ticket.

We located the trail that goes out to the lake, but didn't have enough time to go all the way out there. Next week we'll pack a lunch and do that trail.

Today was Doc's actual birthday--14 years old on Cinco de Mayo. I gave him an apple for his birthday. He was happy.

Riding in Laguna

Today's Trail Ride on Thursday took place in Laguna. We thought it would be ok because it has been two weeks since the big snow storm. Still, there was a little snow left in the shady spots. Moreover, the water was running along some of the trails. I learned something today: Doc does not like to walk in water. He never put up a fuss before when crossing water, but he does not like to walk down a trail with water running under his feet. Everything was going so well until the end when we came across a dip in the trail with running water. Doc took a drink as he normally does, but then he took a huge jump over the water to the other side. Flying is fun.
