Our shady campsite under a live oak and cedar
Last weekend Pete and I visited Renab Ranch, owned by Lillian Baner. This beautiful farm is perched on top of a hill next to the Withlacoochee State Forest. Lillian and her many critters were welcoming hosts. We had the place to ourselves, so of course picked the primo location for hookup. The trail riding was hot but fun, and the trails are some of the best in the state. We rode 7.5 miles on Saturday and 11.5 miles on Sunday...and the horses did great! We stop about every hour to give our butts a rest and to let the horses graze and cool off a bit. Jake was very busy with his job -- herding Lillian's three goats and one lamb. He was in his glory! I think we've got the hook-up procedure pretty nailed at this point. And, Pete and I very comfortably assumed set-up and break-down chores. We love the trailer. It is very comfortable and I have mastered some amazing culinary treats for us out of our "camper kitchen." We will be back to Renab Ranch this winter for sure!

Pete is HYSTERICAL! ...Kim, get him connected to some writer's guild or something!
Love to ALL of you -- including the horses and the dogs. (poor Tessa!)
