Do the saplings fall so much every year? <BR/>All of our deadfall are big trees- struck by lightning, usually.<BR/><BR/>When I go for long backpacks, I find crossing the two-three foot diameter ones to be the hardest thing I have to do. Usually, I just sit on them and slide my legs over to the other side. We have rangers constantly cutting at the deadfall to clear the trails. We met one Ranger who had been camped for days cutting the windfall trees on a remote trail, with a handsaw (chainsaws are illegal there, even for Rangers!) and he said, "Oh good! I'm glad someone is using this trail. I thought I was cutting these for nothing!"Fantastyk Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065772565014490544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105389627022519073.post-15591024835420694962009-02-06T17:20:00.000-08:002009-02-06T17:20:00.000-08:00School?

Here's to finished horses...lol!!!<BR/><BR/>Kacy-Awwww schucks!!! You are the sweet one!!! I would love to have you and Wa mare over, but the horses are not at my house. Maybe we can arrange to meet at a cool riding place that is 1/2 way between our houses this summer??<BR/><BR/>Grey Horse-Believe it or not, they are now calling for possible snow this weekend!!!

At least you have had wonderful weather!! Hooray, and wooden caakettis, how much fun!! <BR/><BR/>The woods there are so pretty. We don't have trails like that around here. I would have to drive about three hours north to get really great trails. Which I need to do more often. <BR/><BR/>And I have did some back reading and I like the steady non bucking horses too. It's the reason why my four year old gelding isn't broke. He bucked me off and I have only ridden him once since then. I have issues with riding colts in the winter. And then I am going to send him to a trainer to finish it for me. I am not a romantic when it comes to crazy bucking horses, send them way to be fixed and then I can handle the rest!! LOL!! <BR/><BR/>And I loved looking at the old pictures Shadest. He was really a pretty boy!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105389627022519073.post-9662356560253886432009-02-05T08:38:00.000-08:002009-02-05T08:38:00.000-08:00Aw back to school must bite!
