Poison Oak/Look Out disappointment

Yup, it's poison oak season and yup I have it.  Only a little spot by my right wrist.  Must remember to take my poison oak medicine and to wash more often with Tecnu.
Zoe on the other hand loves to eat poison oak.  It's a wonderful treat.
Today on our ride she tried to eat it but I caught her before she managed to get it into her mouth.

We went to Look Out Rock.  What a disappointment.  Someone had pulled an old smashed car up there.  In the process of getting the car up there they had pulled some of the barbed wire onto the horse trail...so watch out.  Someone had spent the night last night and there was a fire smoldering.  Smoldering because they used green wood, trees that they had chopped, trees that were healthy.  They even left some chopped wood and limbs half chopped on healthy trees.  Lots of garbage too.  Tempted to come back and do some trail clean up, but I'm afraid it will be in vain.  They will just come back and trash it again.  I went this way so I could show someone the connector trail from the Look Out Rock trail to the trail below Look Out Rock.  He liked the "new" trail.

When we left on our ride Sky and Barkley left before us.  Zoe goes out with Sky at least once a week.  We (Zoe and Skippy) left a bit after them.   On Lomida there was another group of riders- they were between the 2 groups from K. Knob.  Busy day.  Zoe did pretty good, she was very aware of where Sky was, when he was out of sight I could tell she was still looking for him, but after a while she gave it up.  After all she had Skippy with her.  We met up with Sky and Barkley on Lomida on the way back to the barn.
