Another 5 Hour Ride

V got to ride with us again yesterday.  We went out for another 5 hour ride.

 This was our ususal arrangement, J in front on Jessica, me in the middle on Otoelene,

 And V bringing up the rear on Hank.  Back in the parking area someone was driving past our trailer while we were saddling up, stopped and yelled, "Damit Hank!"  It was one of Hanks previous owners.  He got out and rubbed on Hank and chatted a bit.  Said he was glad Hank found a good home.

 We haven't ridden on all of these trails and don't know where they all go.  Consequently, we did take an unexpected turn that worked out well.  We found a way to avoid riding on the gravel road for so long.

 We had a nice lunch break, then back to the trails.

 I made it out front for a little bit.

 There were some rhododendrons blooming, very pretty.

 Then I ended up in the back.  We past a couple of small groups, one that had a pack of 8 dogs following behind.

 And once again, no drama.

V rode in a different saddle this time and said it suited her and Hank much better.  Then back home safe and sound, so another successful ride.
