[RC] FW: MSNM NEW ENTRY AND DIRECTIONS TO NEW CAMP. - Katrina MosshammerHi everybody,
We went out this weekend
and figured out our trails. The 50s will do the 17 mile loop 3 times and the 25s
will do a 13 mile loop twice. The roads are nice and wide open. The trail goes
around the end of the ridge, up to the top, runs along the top, then back down
and runs along the valley. The roads that run along the top of the ridge and down along the valley are good roads that you
can really move out on. The roads that go up and down the ridge are rocky in
places so shoes are strongly recommended. I would not recommend
doing this trail barefoot, but if you do, please carry hoof boots! If it were my
horse, since this is a night ride and they can’t see as well to pick their
footing, I would also put pads on my
horse.
We didn't get to ride the whole thing this
weekend so I'll try again next weekend. We did go out about 9:00 but the
cloud cover was so thick you couldn't see the moon and we really didn't get any
light off of it. Even so, we did the first 4.2 miles doing at a slow
trot and some walking in 45 min. We started seeing lightning in the
distance so we decided to head back and it took almost exactly the same time to
get back. The plan next weekend it for me to do the entire 50 miles. (Anybody
close want to come ride with me??)
I've go the new entry ready and it should be up
on the online calendar in the next few days. If anybody has any
questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Oh, there are electric hookups on trees
throughout the whole camp, so there is plenty of electricity for everyone that
wants it. You may want to bring an extension cord though.
Thanks!!!
