| Going over Stevens Pass |
We'd planned this
get-away with our friends Scott & Barb. Scott asked if we'd be interested in accompanying them to one of their favorite hide-a-ways? To camp, socialize & best of all - ride in a new place! Of course we said; "yes"!
 |
| We caravan over~ |
It's the drive that I usually dislike, since traffic isn't my favorite thing - especially when we have Farah with us. Leaving mid-week was a super idea, no traffic to speak of & perfect weather too!
It wasn't long until we stopped at
Coles Corner to let all the dogs take a break :-) Yes, we all brought our dogs! Soon we were past Wenatchee - not too much further & we turned onto the gravel roads that would take us to our destination. We pulled into the private ranch, where we were expected by mid-afternoon.
 |
| Our view~ |
The view? Yes - we had a magnificent view! We camped on grass, with a great fire-pit area, picnic table & pipe corrals for the horses. There was one issue... A Thoroughbred mare was loose in the area of the corrals & she instantly went to Farah's pen & tried to eat her hay! That - of course - was Not going to work! Next thing we knew, Farah was rearing into the air & screaming like a stallion... The Thoroughbred was bigger than Farah & when she reared the two of them almost came to blows... NOT!
 |
| Farah, relieved to be away from the mare~ |
Being the resourceful people we are - we just set up our hot-wire corral & moved Farah away from the mare & closer to us. A better arrangement all-round, since she's our one & only - she's used to being near us.
 |
| Dinner time! |
By the time the sun was getting low in the sky, we were all set up, comfortable & very happy to be in such a beautiful spot! I was excited & couldn't wait to see what the country would look like from Farah's back! Ride stories to follow!
