The mountains are a perfect place to get away from the heat. Our trail clearing and camp cleanup at Eagle Meadows had temperatures 25° below Sonora! A huge thank you to everybody who came out and helped. We had Myron, Jan, Lance, Joy, Colleen, Janine, Roy, Ron, David, John, Jackie and me. The trails were in their early summer splendor with wildflowers everywhere.
June has arrived with warm weather and promises of mountain rides. Lots of closures still in effect so check with Summit for up to date information before heading up the mountain…
Sixteen members showed up May 18 to help open Center Camp. John and Myron had already cleared the arena which left raking and clean up around the buildings…
After a few false starts, spring has actually sprung! Now it’s the hurry up and wait game for forest roads to open—can’t wait to get in the mountains! Merrill Springs Rd (Long Barn) usually opens with trout season, which is the last Saturday in April. Fingers crossed!
Our spring Top Hand ride is Saturday, April 20th. The flowers at Peoria are spectacular! Top hand wins a buckle!
It’s Spring! We had a few nice riding days and then bam! The door closed and we are back to a week of rain starting Wednesday. At least the hills will be greener longer. I spent the last weekend at Back Country Horsemen’s Rendezvous at Diamond Bar in Ceres. I know a lot of our members are also member of BCH Mid-Valley…
No letter this month, because Linda has her toes in the sand down in Mexico.
Well, the year is just about over. It’s been a roller coaster for some, and smooth sailing for others.
Wherever you might fall, here’s to 2024!
Happy November!
It’s almost Thanksgiving—how did that happen? Hope y’all have your wood stacked and ready to go and the leaves raked because winter will be upon us before we know it!
We’ve got a few great events coming up that should be fun for everybody.
October at last!
I look forward to this month every year.
I rode to Camp Lake recently and the colors were amazing.
The days are warm and the evenings are cool. Perfect riding weather!
Two big things coming up! The Christmas Dinner and installation of 2024 officers and board members is December 15.
September already!
August went by quickly and we were blessed with awesome weather. There has been enough rain to keep the dust off the trails and flowers blooming, and not too hot day after day.
