Oh, and the other thing I couldn't get over was the number of people riding along talking on cell phones. The young girl on the right in the 1st picture (my friend's granddaughter) talked almost all day long (she's a teenager), but there were lots of others. When I get out on the trail, I like to enjoy the peace and quiet. The last thing in the world I want to do is have somebody calling me on a cell phone. They're nice to have in an emergency, but jeez, give me a break! ;o)
Heh.... ~teenagers~
I'm with you about the cellphones on trail rides. I take one when I'm by myself, but I don't know why. I don't get much signal in the woods. I take it mainly for emergency sakes, and get irratated when it rings and I'm on the horse. I don't like getting calls, I just want to be able to make a call if I have too.
Your rides sound like fun. I want to go on some this year. I'm hoping CS and I can go up to Robbers Cave even if it's just us two, and stay a few days a couple of times this year.
