Hello, I have been trying to ride as much as possible before winter hits us here in Alaska. I wish I could have taken some pictures before the huge wind storm blew most of the yellow/gold leaves off the trees, but I got a few today to share here. Today was the last day of moose hunting season up here so starting tomorrow I can get back on my regular trails before the snow hits the ground, although I have a feeling I might ride more this winter than I did this summer because I won't have to worry about running into bears once they hibernate! Besides getting Dusty completely gun broke I have a huge winter project of teaching her to pull logs from the woods for the house we will be building next spring to live in. She is smart and willing, so I hope I can utilize her for that job...make her start earning her keep. This picture is from today's ride, I even got Kayo (the husky dog that is the BEST trail riding partner ever) to pose in the pic :)
The RAC (Ride-A-Curly) International Riding Contest will not be held in 2012. But feel free to enjoy the stories from the past few years in this blog.

Courtney, OH MY GOD. The scenery up there is unbelievable. Look at those mountains! And you look at that all the time, wow. Your Curly ain't too shabby, either. ;) Please post whenever you can! You gave me such an enjoyable morning coffee time moment, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular :) Wonderful pictures and colors :) So good to have Kayo with you in that wilderness! Best Caren
ReplyDeleteCourtney,
ReplyDeleteThe three of you look so very happy and so filled with life. I am glad that Kayo is with you both on trail. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of Dusty pulling logs for your new home. Thank you.
Penny
Those pictures should be in a travel flyer :) they are just beautiful! Dusty is so pretty as well. I know what you mean by trying to get out and ride as much as you can before winter. Looking forward to more of those Alaskan adventure photos.
