Today was a great ride... I was only half as nervous as yesterday, and Bay was too... Today he acted like a seasoned horse, not the greenhorn A-Rab horse he was yesterday! Cyn also, was just a trooper.
Tall tree area
Logged area
One of the bridges we crossed today, this one is just like the one from yesterday.
This below is such a cool place -- vine maple branches have overgrown and made an arch over the whole trail. This picture is looking UP as we went under. It's so dark in there that none of the other pictures came out.
This is the rest spot at Mima Falls
And these are the falls ;~D
This is another bridge, right by the rest area and the falls.
This is me next to a HUGE tree I thought you'd enjoy seeing. It's a little obscured by branches, but if you look close you can see how wide it is... I think it makes me look thin ;~D
Another bridge:
Cyn doesn't like to walk in the muddy places, so she takes ecurbh off into the shrubberies on each side of the trail if it's too muddy ;~D There were only a few really bad mud spots now, It'll get better as the summer dries it out.
This is a pretty cool U-shaped bridge. It has a culvert under it with water running too, which makes the horses a little antsy.
And that's all! Terrific day! Terrific hobby, this riding thing! My husband is worn out, it's hard work riding horses! Both of us only had partial use of our knees when we first dismounted at the end. :~D I think our total distance was about 10 miles.
