It is all coming together nicely and we are getting
excited for the weekend. (I know my husband is looking forward to all this
"pink" stuff to leave the living room. He's a very patient
man!!)
Linda has been working hard at getting all the trails
marked this last weekend around the "Rendezvous Mountain Men" that had the
PFC ride camp this last Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully she hasn't
been hit by a stray arrow or whacked by a flying hatchet. (You'll
have to ask her how many men she saw this week running around in deer
skin loin cloths). I have hear she has found
two new really nice trails this year to replace a the two trails trails that
were logged last fall. Each day will be fresh trails, lots of water (live and tanks), green grass for the ponies and
incredible views to enjoy. No forest fires this year (keep your fingers
crossed!).
A few folks have asked about the loops and vet
checks....all vet checks will be in camp this year and there will be three loops
for the 50's (one long loop, then a medium and short loop).
The high temperatures will be about 10° cooler than Boise
so expect a high of around 82°. And, I know it is hard to remember to
grab a jacket when the sweat is rolling off you as you pack your camper, but
when the sun sets at ride camp the temperatures will drop to 49° or so.
We'll be heading up on Tuesday, I think, to start getting
ride camp organized and the trails finalized. If you have any questions,
please email or give me a call. We do have pretty decent cell service in
the meadow this year, so it will be easier for everyone to check in with the
family while you are relaxing in camp.
PS For those of
you that won't be able to earn your Tevis Buckle this year....you will have
the chance to win the new and improved, custom, one and only, official,
highly sought after, rare, almost gaudy but quite tasteful, pretty Pink Flamingo
Classic bling-bling belt buckle for the Over-All First Place 50 Miler
award. This belt buckle will be a collector's item someday and I bet
the Antique Road Show would even value it for at least $75 (which is probably
what it cost me to have made this year...). Hey, it is all about having
fun, right??
