Day 7

Well here it is Day 7. It poured rain all nite, and is still pouring when we got up. But miraculously it cleared off about 10:30 when we went to ride.

We went across Hwy 40 and into the Highwood Range.  Waaay up on a ridge overlooking where

 we had been. AWSOME! we were above the clouds in some areas.  We could see all across where we had been the past 6 days.  We ran across an old coal mine shaft. (We didn't go in!)

Lots of places were so steep we had to walk the horses down, but they followed and didn't even run over us.  They were great!

We got back to the Cat Creek staging area, and my car even started! It didn't take long to load the horses and say our goodbyes, on of the bunch took all our email addresses so we could communicate later....thanks for that!

Everyone made it through...no major casualties, and no bear attacks. I consider that a successful trip.  Thanks to the expertise of the staff at Anchor D. I will try to ride with them again sometime. I hear that the "Lost Trail" ride is pretty good...maybe next year!

Oh...the food was great....even crepes for breakfast one day that would rival any french restaurant. Shrimp cocktail for snacks...it couldn't get better than that! 

Now lets get the truck out of here!
