Clean Tail Update

Ambleside got her tail washed & conditioned, then she was left to dry overnight. Next day she stayed in the dry covered arena all day. That night I washed it again, rinsed, sprayed with white vinegar & let it sit for about 5 minutes, rinsed & then applied leave-in conditioner. She stayed in her stall again & in the morning 
I HAD COVID
and couldn't take care of myself, let alone braid her tail. 


So these are her cleanish legs with cowboy magic on them. Not all clean, just cleanish.







And here are the backs of her legs looking down



This morning in the front pasture

Took the SxS Out to Tahuya

We're very fortunate to live within 40 minutes of an Off Highway Vehicle park, in Tahuya. 
We decided to go camp overnight at Camp Spillman last night & ride today.

This is one of the few areas in the park where I get cell reception,
up on top of the hill in the middle of the park. I have to stand on a stump.


There were a LOT of other people out, I counted 20 at the 'Party Ponds' 
but think there were more like 40 other rigs in the area that we saw. 


These yahoos had 8 rigs together, one was stuck, they were doing stupid shit, drinking & yelling at each other. The tan truck backed up & put a decent dent into the thing behind it. We decided to go on a different trail after watching them for a few minutes.


Saw probably a dozen other UTVs


We were learning more about the new tablet & the On-X program


We need a program that had a better way of finding trails & making plans for us to follow.


This group was older people so not stupid.
The guy right there had all the Do-Hickeys.


We thought the water looked deeper but I'm glad it wasn't


I use this to wipe fog off the window


Wipe & 35 seconds later its ready again. This is with all the holes plugged to keep engine moisture out, the heater was on and a window slightly opened.


I like going camping there, its free with your Discover Pass.
