[RC] Buck Meadow Boogie I & II- Fabulous! - Cynthia LeDoux-BloomThink John Muir. Ride camp is on an ~50 acre grassy private ranch just 30 miles west of Yosemite NP and the trails run through Stanislaus National Multi-use Forest. Wildflowers, some old growth ponderosa pine and valley oak forests. Warm afternoon and frozen mornings, complete with croaking frogs and chirping crickets. Very well marked trails, lotsa up and downhills, and friends full laughter. Great volunteers, good food, and excellent customer service. Worth the diesel. Hence why folks came up from Santa Barbara [Lynette Hulbert and Heather Van Fossen] and us from Fort Bragg. Bob Spoor BCed both 50s. Both he and his horse looked amazing after both hard rides. Reyna Mero-Kuryal was the youngest 50 finisher at 6 years old, her first. Rob Dehoney, riding Hank [Shah Anahata AJ] who I sold to him, was 1st and was awarded vet choice on Saturday, and Jim Gemperline riding Tommy, won vet choice on Sunday. My husband Eric finished his first 25 aboard our 20 year old endurance horse, Sunman! Emily finished both 50's with Sam, quite an acomphishment after his surgery in Aug. I rode with Em one day and Eric the next. Such fun. I am only sore from laughing with all the happy folks there. We'll be back again and you all should plan to ride next year if possible. EXCELLENT and A+ to Team Foiles once again! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
