Last weekend I had a RARE Saturday off and immediately made plans to head to the mountains for some riding! I am so lucky to have parents who are ALWAYS willing and ready to ride! Plus, I would literally be lost without them! They know all the right turns to get to all the best places! We rode the HONEYMOON TRAIL which is really one of my favorite trails! We can ride right from their house. I LOVE where my parents live! We made a loop through Horsethief before coming back home. I have to tell you, Mom and Dad are in way better riding shape than I am! They have been on a few long rides already this year but this was my first ride of the year! Boy was my butt sore! I have discovered that when you go riding with Dad--you go RIDING. Not STOPPING! That is, unless he spots a mushroom! I still haven't figured out how he can spot a morel growing on the hillside when he is flying by on his four-wheeler but he DOES! It was certainly a beautiful day in the mountains. Everything was so gorgeously green and smelled oh-so wonderful!

THE HUCKLEBERRY BUSHES ARE LOADED WITH BLOSSOMS THIS YEAR!
CAN'T WAIT TO PICK THOSE Y-U-M-M-Y BERRIES!
ONE OF DAD'S MORELS!
HOW DOES HE SPOT THEM?
WHILE DAD WAS STOPPED TO PICK HIS MUSHROOM, I BEGGED FOR A LUNCH BREAK! I WAS SO SORE! I HAD BEEN RIDING CABOOSE ALL AFTERNOON SO I CERTAINLY HAD A DIRTY FACE! MY LIPS EVEN LEFT A DIRTY PRINT ON MY SODA CAN!
