[RC] RC: Charlie Barieau, Smokey & Gold country ER - Christy HawesThe greatest pictures on my mom's walls are of her at endurance rides taken by Charlie. I remember him as a kid. My mom was very fond of him.Smokey Killan mentored my mom and as a kid I used to follow him done the trail. For such a great horse, Bandit was the coarsest horse I'd ever seen, and a rough ride. How that horse racked up all those miles without breaking down is amazing. My dad, George Hawes, was the first president of Gold County Endurance Riders in Auburn, Ca. How's that for history? Us kids would get sent to the basement to play while they held meetings in Secretary Diane's house upstairs. I suspect they did a lot more than just hold meetings- there was a lot of laughter - and I'm pretty sure the consumption of alcohol. Smokey lived next door. Camping at endurance rides were great memories from my childhood. I think it was the only time my parents got along! My mom gave a lot of orders and dad just did what he was told. And my mom's horse was a nut case.
