So I cancelled my GE Plus subscription since that was the only reason I was subscribed anyway.; ▶ Reply to This

I took the 2 month free trial of the GE-Pro (b/c it allows me to make .mov files out of the fly-throughs of the various endurance venues we've made track logs of. I'll do a special VV DoItAgain .mov too - flying around to all our various trails:) should be great fun.

Our Loop 1: Lower Camp Creek - This wash empties into the Rio Verde about 3 miles from GottaGoRanch. Sandra, Rusty, and I did the loop this morning. Just Beautiful as the desert is so green this year.

Google says that some file is missing on C:drive but it makes no sense because BarbsLoop opened perfect....uggh.; ▶ Reply to This

Our third loop: Maynard's Loop - named after Maynard Munger - Long time endurance rider here in the valley of the Sun - one of the true old timers of endurance - a shaper of the sport we all enjoy today.

Well, our final loop - Sandra and I saddled up in the rain and did the extended Camp Creek Wash loop. It was beautiful. The rain in the desert - the cactus nearing bloom - just exquisite!

Rushcreek Mac - Now and endurance pony I think.

Well it rained the whole time I was tacking up, managed to stay on a wet saddle with wet rain gear even tho Marirose virtually threw me over the tack shed, then it quit raining for the next 3 hours and we had a nice slip-slidin' ride thru the low hills. Here are 2 links just for grins.
