First, welcome to Carey McIntosh, a viewer of this blog from Zambia!
Today, we’re supposed to ride horses. But it’s raining and not a good day for horses or bicycles. My personal experience with horses is BAD. On four or five experiences over my life-time, the horse has always won. I’m afraid of ‘em. Some Texan, huh? Well since I don’t wear cowboy boots or cowboy hats, don’t have a pick-up, don’t believe in gun ownership, and don’t vote republican, I’m somewhat a radical Texan.
But Barb is ready with her new boots. We love transferring this California wealth to the Texas economy. And she’s not finished shopping yet – looking for a cowgirl hat.
Today’s optional ride, should anyone take it, is to the Camp Verde Store (see below). Camp Verde was established as a US military experiment in using camels for supply transport and other military purposes. Thirty three camels and their Egyptian handlers arrived in 1857.
The horse ride goes on in spite of the rain. Actually, it’s now not much more than a drizzle. The ranch hands are characters:
How do you spend your time if you can’t ride?
