Ride 2 of 4th of July weekend

Today just Jim and I went out.  He didn't want to go as far as yesterday so we did some trail exploring.  At the top of enchanted valley we took the trail to the right...down the other side of  the rocks.  It was doable...met up with some poison oak, but it wasn't too bad.  We worked our way over to the same trail we were on yesterday...the road with the downed trees on it....but we didn't take that road.  There is a small trail to the right that winds thru some marshy areas in the winter.  The summer time is ok but due to the late rains this year I wasn't sure how it was.  It was ok, the trail isn't very visible and we lost it once, but found it again.  The ground was only a little mushy, but passable.  On the way home we decided to go thru the middle of the cow pasture and that was passable too...a little mushy in some spots but doable.  Zoe and I took the lead on the way out and half way thru we switched...Skippy in front and Zoe in back.  Skippy was having fun with her big trot and Zoe was able to keep up without breaking into a lope and she had good manners!  Phew!
