Well, it was noted in the March 31 service bulletin for the celebration of Lee's life that we would be doing a tribute ride for her. We have nailed down a date. September 23. Riders can arrive around 9:30 to be prepared to leave the yard at 10-10:30. Margaret and Nelson's yard is 2 miles straight east of the TV tower on highway #54. Bring a saddle bag trail lunch. Nelson will lead us over to the Big Valley Acres. We will return to the yard about 4 and have a campfire. I will provide a bunch of hot dogs and buns and you bring a lawn chair. Extra non riders are certainly welcome.I'd appreciate people letting me know the numbers who are coming so I can get enough food. I am sure there will be lots of Lee stories around the campfire.
Lee so enjoyed the Big Valley Acres. If you have been to Craven look north west into the hills and that's where we will ride. This time of year was Lee's favourite season. She would often comment on enjoying the warm but not stinking hot days of fall. The smell of wet leaves, the sounds of migrating flocks and the change of colours all made it her favourite time of the year.
If people want to walk to the area you can follow on foot. You are not likely to keep up to our horseback speed but you can certainly enjoy the sights. Its about a mile and a half from Nelson's to the top of the valley.
I am coming up to September 14 this Friday which will be 6 months since Lee died. I cannot believe it how time flies.
