Road Trip: The Good Kind

Wednesday August 19 2015

Fortunately, this road trip is not the evacuation kind. With the Soda fire 95% contained, and therefore not having to worry about moving horses to safety, we are off to the I Know You Rider endurance ride, "The Best Endurance Horse Ride in Wyoming."

As you can see, The Raven is ready to go! He's never ridden in Wyoming before. (He's sitting in the middle of the saddles there.)

Thanks for everybody's concern and prayers during the (unwanted) excitement of the Soda fire - keep those thoughts and prayers going for all the others threatened by wildfires, and for the families of 3 firefighters who were killed today battling a wildfire near Twisp, Washington.

Catch Up

Thursday April 5 2012

• 4000 mile road trip - wheeeee! Trying to get the kinks out of the legs and butt.

• Coverage of the USA Endurance Team Trial in hot, humid Texas. (See coverage, stories, and photos here.) 

• Dead computer to deal with. Fortunately, I am religious about backing up data because of just such disasters, and I had almost everything backed up!

• Borrowed computer work: writing up ride stories, trying to catch up on email, but I think now for real I am forever in an email Black Hole catch-up-deficit.

• Unpacking the suitcases, packing the horse trailer, getting ready for our local first endurance ride on Saturday, on my ♥ horse Jose (and yes, I'll be wearing his vest!)

Road Trip Interrupted!

On the way back home, we had to stop at a hotel with HBO to watch the season 2 premier of Game of Thrones!

Oh yea!

This is Not (Raven) Right

Really, this is not fair, and it's just not right!

Sunrise in Yellowstone National Park

Friday July 15 2011

A cold, bracing, refreshing night camping in Grand Teton National Park in the forest at 8000 feet.

Sunrise in Yellowstone National Park along the muddy, swollen banks of the Snake River, framed with fingers of fog and swirls of sulphur steam, sprinkled with ghostly black and white apparitions of a burned forest.

Beautiful!

On The Road!

Thursday July 14 2011

2 PM: We're on the road to the Big Horn 100 in Wyoming to crew for Kevin, Kevin, and Rusty.

Unfortunately, our car is packed so full that we won't be able to carry their equipment. Well, we'll be there to cheer them on!
