Trail Notes

5 Days In!

8/15/2016

 
We just arrived at our campsite ending our 5th day on the trail. Things are going well, despite a few challenges. The biggest issue is the heat, which I expected. Luckily we have electrolytes for Sage and myself so we're pushing through. One day was so hot we took a siesta midday and finished up our mileage after sunset! We're now in the White Pine Range, enjoying some elevation and respite from the heat. Everyone is doing well. Sage seems to have settled into the routine of getting up at 5am and riding out around 6:30. My feet were not ready for the amount of walking I've been doing and I'm suffering from some nasty blisters, but otherwise good. Bella has been keeping up with us in the morning but joining Ryan in the truck once it gets too hot. We've seen quite a few wild horses and were charged by stallions several time, but of course I always have my handy plastic bag in my saddle bag to scare them off! We just missed some storms yesterday and today; they stayed just to the north of us. Anyway, all is well - we're covering some ground and having fun! Ryan's taking good care of us. I'll update again next week!
Our campsite tonight for day 5.
Sage all dressed up for some night riding.
Enjoying good trails and good views!
Sage seems to enjoy being out and exploring Nevada.
Bell got a face full of cactus barbs. I got them all out and she is fine!
The tiny speck Sage is fixated on is a wild stallion who was upset we camped in his territory!

So good to hear from you and glad everything is working out for you guys. I think it is supposed to be a little cooler next week!

I think that the trips and tours should always be planned in the winter season or the moderate season but never in the summer season. Travelling in summer is very exhausting and it never makes oneself to enjoy in the complete manner.
