3 Vista Ride

It was a great day for a ride.  We have been very spoiled with the weather lately.  Clear and sunny, cool, no mud-awesome.  So today I went for a ride with 2 friends.  Zoe rode with Sky and Dune.  I've been thinking of doing this ride for about a week.  I wanted to go to 3 vista points along Folsom Lake-Dottie's Hill,  Lookout Rock, Inspiration Pt.  Today we did it.  We all took turns leading or being in the middle or being last.

 At the top of Lookout Rock.  We took the back way to get there.  No rain has kept the trail in good condition.  Once it starts raining heavily this trail can get dicey.  There were three 4-wheelers parked on the rock and one came while we were talking to the drivers.  They were very nice and understood our horses need to have some space on the trails.  So no great picture at this spot, just one over the top of Zoe's back.  They said they'd watch out for us but we never saw them again.  I think I heard them on top of "the rock" on the way back but we went around that area on our way home.

The only potentially scary part of our ride was on Lomida.  They are building a back fence on the road.  There were workers, skill saws, cones, trucks, music, piles of lumber and a fence.  Everything looked different.  Zoe was in the lead on the way out and gave it the "ear".  At this point in the ride we were on the opposite side of the road.  On the way back Sky was in front and neither horse cared about it.
