Where do I begin? We had an unexpected sunny day and were very excited to go to the beach and run the horses. I was excited to try out our new truck. It would be so nice to be able to speed up the hills and not have to worry about the cars piling up behind us. I pick up my partners in crime, Josh and Rachel, and we are on our way.
Of course we were all commenting about how nice the truck was, how much power it had etc etc etc. Well the joke was on us, about half way to the beach a hose came off. We were now able to race along at the grand speed of....... 35, 15 up hills, WOW!
To make a long story short we never made it to the beach but we didn't want to give up on riding for the day. when we happened to pass a trail head along the way home and figured it couldn't hurt to try it out.
The trail itself looked interesting, dirt and beautiful trees in the forest. It was fun but short lived. This would be a great trail for an extreme rider. First the dirt is very loose and we fell knee deep in it at one point. Second, there is a very difficult stream crossing. It looks like the trail is mostly used by hikers although it is an equestrian trail as well. The stream crossing has very loose footing but if you had a good horse you could jump it or get off and have your horse jump over it. Another part of the problem is that the trail is fairly overgrown on both sides so the landing area is rather crowded. We did not make it past the crossing but it was still a fun ride. A good way to turn around what started out as a bad day.
