Fantasy Ranch: Riding Horses with my buddies

Susan in front of a beautiful field of sunflowers

Sheron in front of the beautiful sunflowers and the outhouse she was brave enough to visit

Cathy prepares to visit the stinkiest outhouse around and yes that's her shirt over her face!

the only time you will find me with a cowboy hat on my head!

Heading out on the trail. Our guide rode sideways like this the entire time

Heading out



beautiful scenery everywhere we looked

single file...nose to tail

The Aspens is one of the coolest (literally) part of the ride





Amy on Flash, Cathy on Eve, Sheron on Irwin and Susan on Butters





Headed back to the stables with a beautiful view of Crested Butte Mountain

Bye Bye Butters!
Ready to hike and then the raindrops started!
My friends Sheron Lensing, Susan Barron, and Cathy Brown braved the long drive and came to visit me for a few days. Despite rainy afternoons, we found plenty to keep us busy. One of our favorite things we did was to go horseback riding with Fantasy Ranch up Gothic Mountain. We had a 1/5 hour trail ride on horses that were hand selected for us. Susan rode Butters, Sheron rode Irwin, Cathy rode Eve, who had a passion for snacking, and I rode Flash. The weather was beautiful in the morning and the scenery was gorgeous! We wanted to hike on the Woods Walk trail, but we got rained out.
