Split Rock revisited

** I logged on to do a quick update on our adventures and found that this had not been published, so here it is--long after the actual day of riding.

After a couple, "Is that the trail?" and peering down the mountain, we found the trail to Split Rock. We had no problem--it was clear sailing. We tied up the horses and lay on our bellies and looked at the bottom. :) It is truly something. Climbers had attached hooks in the rock for rappelling, but someone else sawed them off (hope they weren't on the other end at the time!!). Guess they didn't want the natural beauty marred by climbers' equipment. There is still a couple over the side of the rock with carabiners in place, but they would be pretty tough to get to.

After we headed back to the grassy spot and back down our regular trail, we decided to do more bushwacking and looked for another way down off the mountain. Found it! It cut some of the road riding off. More fun.

We did not see any bears, but Jupes was so certain something was out there, he took a detour (I thought he had to pee, but no) and cut off Ziggy so he would be in front and would not be in the back and get eaten first. :) Too funny. He was pretty jumpy and shied at one of the dogs again.

It was another fun day of exploring and adventure and wet blankets.
