Jesse is waiting to get his saddle bags loaded...looks like he's napping. This is his usual stance before a ride...tied to his limo, napping!
Hitting the trail on the Lost Horse Mine trail! The Bossman ALWAYS makes me pick the trail. I know it's because if we end up with a bad trail...he can say."We'll you picked it"! I picked this trail because of it's name, and I love new trails and the park protects 794,000 acres witch in includes the Mojave Desert. I read that there are 243 miles of trials inside the park. At an average of 15 mile rides... we should be able to get 15 or so rides. However...some of the rides are very much like our own back yard Indian Canyon so we will probably not ride those as it takes us 2 hours to get up there and into the park. There are 2 entrances to the park and this is the far one. Next time we ride here we will try the close entrance and probably save 1/2 hour in travel time. There are several trails that sound intriguing such as this one...and I hope we come back up and do 3 or 4 of these rides this year. The Bossman ans I only get to ride together once a week cause he has a "real job" too!
The terrain looks pretty much like the low desert...except for these!
At last we come to the "prize" of the trail. Lost Horse Mine! It has been fenced off to keep tourists from getting to close and perhaps injured on this very old structure.
Tummy full...he scampered away to enjoy the view!We had a great 1st reunion ride and it was so great to be back in the saddle with Jesse!
Your Desert Rose!
Sounds like a great ride!! Lovin' the scenery down there, I miss it! I bet the Bossman was glad to have his LL back!

Oh dear. Speaking of pants and saddles (not necessarily peeing them) have you ever tried to pick a wedgie at a trot. I think it may be impossible.
ReplyDeleteI want to ride in a place like that one day.
So beautiful....that desert warmth looks inviting right about now! How are Jesse's hooves after a summer in the desert?
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate it when that happens! HeeHee
ReplyDeletelooks like you had a great time with OUR bossman!
I gotta tell ya, when I saw "Pissed Off" in my sidebar for your post in my Blog List, I just had to hurry on over( I would of come yesterday but was not on line ..granddaughters Christmas play..about.Pirates?!)...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that was pretty funny, you do tell all don't ya! I could sooooo relate to how that could happen!

ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! Beautiful scenery! How great for you that you are able to ride in such a breathtaking spot!! Love the lunch guest -- too damn cute. So you literally pissed in the saddle!??! I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for you!! But I can't feel too sorry for you -- you get to do all this great riding!!
ReplyDeleteOops, at least you didn't p**p your pants. Now that would probably be a GREAT ride!
ReplyDeleteWow, nice pics, what a great place to ride. Now...about that little incident... OOPS! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was expecting pics and details on your trip to the NFR... sadly, had to just watch all the action from home.
hilarious about peein your pants, Ive almost done that a time or two.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great day, and I love the glass of wine at the end of the ride. Perfect end to the perfect trail ride! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous ride, except for the bladder incident, which we won't mention again.
