I hope not Truman, otherwise I cheated at
Leatherwood. I had a good story to tell about that ride but if you remember,
Howard's (aka panty man) story went on FOREVER! I forgot it now.
Anyway, I rode with a guy on a palomino, TWH
stallion for most of the 25 mile ride. I was scared in them there mountains and
Loony Lance could have gone over the edge at anytime.
I can't remember his name but he was the
sweeper for this ride and was very sweet. All thorough our ride he
gave me the history of the Leatherwood mountains, telling about all the families
that lived there. His stallion was 5 years old and never even flicked an
ear when Lance laid his chin on the boy's butt. He really helped Lance
pick his way among the rocks.
That was one of the best rides I have ever had. I
was way over time, as panty man pointed out in one of our "discussions", so I
guess I wasn't cheating. Even though he set the pace, it was real damn
leisurely.
No pacing, no racing, no gossiping, no cussing and
for goodness sakes, no tattle-tailing. Geez! What CAN we do? What WILL
we write about?
