trails and Angel pics (810 views)

[Shelly]

brought my camera this time i went riding!!

i got some new pics of the aqueduct and the little plateau thing we discovered




end of the long aqueduct




the little plateau we found. we were going to bring lunch to eat here, but we already were tacking up, so we didn't


nice slopes down the sides, looking over a swampy river. there was a sled down there too (who would be dumb enough to sled down a vertical hill with trees??)






and.... Angel






continuing on to the small aqueduct that is about 3ish miles long






i love cantering on this section!! on the way back, they are much more excited to go home so we can easily break into a gallop from a walk next time i will find out how fast we can go, to see if i break my fasted at 31 mph, which was uphill


and just some of Angels butt spots


heading back by road, i get some nice colored trees. in the second pic there are some colored trees, theses are the same ones




the river the flows from the pond behind the aqueduct, under it, and the out under the road


that green strip on the horizon is the big aqueduct, where the second pic was taken from

ahhhh soo pretty!!! you're so lucky i miss being out in the forest. maybe some point this week or next week my husband and i will take a walk to the nearby wooded park for some photos... but work schedule is gonna make it hard for both of us to go. but i can always go alone and take photos once my bike is repaired (its got a flat tire. we got the replacement tire tube, just gotta put it in and fill it)


and i would totally be dumb enough to sled down a hill with trees... i usually do haha. though, the trees are smaller, but alas, its fun trying to avoid them and i often go down hills face first on my belly.


however, my first broken bone was from crashing into a rocky ditch while sledding. broke my foot lol i dont learn!!!

[Shelly]

Trust me, you wouldn't even think about sledding down this hill it is a near vertical drop with trees both on the hill and at the bottom, there is no way to dodge the trees now I can understand going down the grassy sides ofthe aqueduct that would be fun, especiall if the water was frozen at the bottom of the hill

[Casey]

lol i didnt get a chance to go sledding this winter. each time we had a good enough snowfall, i wound up either sick or working lol

ah maybe this winter

[Shelly]

for the last few years i just stay inside for the winter unless im riding, which i feel bad doing because i hate taking angels blanket off in the winter and she has no mane to keep her neck warm..

[Casey]

we didnt get much snow last few winters. the winter before last we got NO snow, it set records for how little we got. i was so bummed

[Shelly]

This year I am hoping for a lot of snow day became I don't have to make them up in this year became it senior year!!!

[Casey]

lol i miss snow days. i went to school on snow days and loved it. i'd always rather be at school than at home.

[Shelly]

How would you go to school on a snow day when no one is there? I would rather stay home

[Casey]

i walked. i'd rather go to school... it was the only place i could have some peace of mind lol
