Re: [RC] Owyhee Canyonlands - dk22kI'll pipe up and congratulate the Teeters and their wonderful volunteers, like Rick and Carol Brand, for the spectacular ride. I know it is hard to believe, but EVERYTHING was perfect -- the weather, food, trails, volunteers, vets, managers and other riders -- for a whole week! I don't think I encountered a sour face or bad word from anyone. KUDDOS to all and many thanks for all you do. I'll be back... Denise and Driffter Thanks Dot - it's always great to have you out here riding. I'll do a ride summary in a few days, we're still cleaning up and pulling ribbons and all that post ride stuff. I've been scoping out more trails, and next year I think I can take you through the Hart Creek narrows, which is really awesome - it's an old Indian burial ground, lots of artifacts, a very 'spiritual' feeling place to ride through. I just have to clean out some brush and figure out how to get you back up on the trail w/o too many rocks. AND - I think we'll be able to take you through Castle Creek Canyon (Day 1 trail was up above it for several miles) for a couple miles. Those are huge towering canyon walls, and it would be spectacular! I'm always looking for ways to improve the ride, and really welcome the feedback. later - Steph p.s. lots of photos are up and Merri has started some stories at http://www.endurance.net/oreana/owyheecanyonlands/2008/ On Oct 1, 2008, at 2:10 PM, Dot Wiggins wrote:Haven't seen much feed back yet, guess everyone is tired. Lots of people, quite a few from out of area. I won't try and list winners, etc., plenty of pictures and results on Endurance Net. More pictures on Steve Bradley Photography web site. Steph and John and all their wonderful crew put on the usual great event. Some new, some old, trails. Plenty of water on the trails, lots of ribbons and signs. Food was super good. I've been waiting at least 5 years to ride the Picket Creek Narrows again, it's a cool litle canyon. It was on the trail the very first year of the Owyhee rides, then a high water year made it impassable. Now it's fixed! (Any chance Hart Creek Narrows will ever be ridable?) Good horses. good friends, great trails, fun crews, nice weather, what more could anyone wish for? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
