I returned to South Dakota yesterday after a wonderful trip to Bryce Canyon. 
 I love the atmosphere of the multi-day rides.  Although there is always 
"choring", it seems there is also time to make new friends and catch up with 
old friends.  To make it affordable to travel that far, I recruited a 
wonderful 16 year old girl to travel with Dorothy Sue Phillips and me.  She 
rode two days and helped Annie at the vet checks the other three days.  She 
not only had a wonderful time but is looking forward to attending rides with 
her own horse next year.  I have found in this life, where there is a will, 
there is usually a way.

I really enjoyed the entire ride, even though I only rode 2 l/2 days.  The 
campsite is beautiful and I rode Hawk bareback on trails out of camp the 
last day.  Water was plentiful, the hot showers were appreciated, the 
weather was awesome and we were blessed with a nice rain shower that 
actually improved the trails.  The food was excellent, the spirit of 
teamwork was pervasive yet there was a little element of competition to keep 
the edge on.  Ride meetings were a time of laughter and storytelling.  The 
maps were excellent and trails extremely well marked.

I so appreciate the people who make rides like this possible.  I hope to 
return in 2007.

Kerry and Hawk, back to reality
