You forgot to mention the knee-crippling and butt-numbing part of the ride...

OK, so Mitch's horseback riding story tale like a campfire story to hear. :P And Punk may oblige you with the face lickins, but he'll probably slap you in the face if you aren't petting him. Little sh _ _ .

This was, by far, the most interesting part of the ride - staring at our cowboy's ass for 3 hours.

Not sure about cell service at the campground but I get a signal at the lodge about 1/2 mile away on my cell with AT&T.

I doubt if Mitzie makes an appearance at the campground, she isn't fond of riding and is pretty shy around strangers. That being said everyone is welcome to come here. Of course, she will do the opposite of what I said and jump in your lap with kisses. I also want to check out the tick situation as I don't use anything on the dogs or me for them. They have been pretty bad here already.

By the way Mitch, I just happened to note in our paper this AM that someone has Maltese/Bichon puppies for sale...just in case you might be interested, oh and another person has Yorkies :D

NO dog (at least not yet; probably never)...but dang, Maltese/Bichon mixes are beyond adorable. NO. NO. NO. I WILL NOT look.

BJ, are you staying at the CG, or just visiting?
(I thought I recall you have a reservation?)

And thanks for the reminder that I need to make sure I have Anti-Bug Juice in the trailer...

I do have a reservation but will probably leave Elsie and drive my Sienna back and forth. Not sure if I will stay every night as so much to do taking care of things here with dogs. I also have a class and clients during the week to work around.
I though the Maltese/Bichon would grab your attention. Hard to find, but I don't know if the place is reputable.

Would anyone be up for dinner (lunch) at the Lodge Sunday the 22nd. It is fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, etc served family style at the table. I would need to make a reservation by Friday. It will be a mad house on the 29th so if going this Sunday would be the time.

Here's a couple shots of our morning hike.

Top pic = Cheryl and Berta on the trail (our total was 2.65 miles).
Bottom pic = ancient Indian burial mound, or a pile of gravel.
You pick.
