Re: [RC] 3 Day 100's (40-40-20) - Tom Sites

Hello Steph, I was fortunate to have ridden the Outlaw Trail in 99 for 4 days, til my lard ass and 4 herniated discs caused Busters back to get sore, thanks to Bruce Burnham who gave me a pay back i felt was more than what i gave and picked me up at the Salt Lake City Airport and took me to 'Slick Rock'City , something we don't have here in Va., for a ride of a lifetime and i think the last year it was thru those areas. Met Kat there and i owe her now a bet i lost so i have to find something of value here out east for her payback. Kat, i ain't forgot and i know you never do. So many interconnected stories. Marsh, you got a surprise coming to add to your joviality and fun.

I think the real gems of life are those that are the least stressed and free flowing. There is a word and i forget what it is but it is Peace fulfilled.

My Congratulations to Hassan Bin Ali, a wonderful human being.

I wish you All, Peace fulfilled,
ts

Tom - you need to come experience a 'western' multiday. you described
it quite well (maybe except for the warm soft bed). But mostly people
ride - just to ride, and we have dinner and happy hour at the end of
each day.  Its a lot of fun and very low key. Last year at the Owyhee
Canyonlands we offered  5-days of 50's and 5 days of 25's (now those
folks really know how to enjoy themselves).

There's very few who are into placing and points in a big way, and
those that are don't flaunt it, and certainly don't convey any
tension. Mostly everybody is there to experience the get-away, the
trail, the horse, and the friendships.

Hello,  Being a gardner and always working the beautiful spring
days i thought it would be nice to do the Homestead Ride that one
had to be invited too, by i think the Orange County Hunt.  Not sure
what organization it was but it was a 40-40-20 in the middle of the
week and i was ready around 1988.

Part of the allure was the fact i could relax and have breakfast,
ride and after horse chores have a wonderful evening meal and sleep
in a warm soft bed.  The event was an absolutley wonderful
experience and i couldn't tell you what color ribbon i got for my
weight class but it wasn't blue but i had a WONDERFUL experience.

I think people today are more into placing and points in whatever
endeavor they do and forget the wonderful thrills out there
whatever you may call it.
