In the picture on your left, that's Gene driving the second hay wagon.
After crossing the road,
Shawn got the wagon up in front of the horses again. This was heading west through
the valley. |
| The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost (1874-1963) |
|
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
|
|
| Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, |
|
|
| And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. |
|
| I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. |
|
At this point we reached a small ravine. Shawn pulled the wagon to the side to let the horses go
through first.
|
Back on the trail again, some of the kids on horseback took shortcuts through the trees.
|
At this point on the trail, we went through a gate which took us out of the trees and valley, up
onto the ridge.
|
This is the Magnuson ranch. Janet asked me to take a few pictures and then told me a few childhood stories of
growing up there. The old house is still standing. |
In the next series of pictures, you'll be able to pick out riders here and there among the
trees, and in and around the buttes.
|
These are some action shots of the girls riding onto the top of the butte.
|
All of these pictures are from the ride up along the fence row to the top of the butte. In these
thumbnails you won't be able to make out the individual riders, but after you double click to get the
full-sized picture you'll be able to pick out riders here and there.
|
At the top of the butte, we rested a spell and took in the view. In the first row of pictures,
you won't be able to make out the individual riders in the thumbnails. After you double click to get the
full-sized picture you'll be able to find all the individual riders.
|
During the break at the top of the butte, several riders rode out on the top of the butte to
see the view overlooking the valley.
|
At this point in the trail ride several riders started cutting down through the canyon while the
wagons followed the road.
|
At the bottom of the long slope were a couple of lakes. We had fun crossing the dam of the second
lake.
|
From this point on, we followed the fence row and the main road back to camp.
|
These last 2 pictures are of the hand dug well.
This is the end of my pictures of the 4H trail ride. I'd like to send out a big thank you to everyone involved.
It was lots of fun and I hope to do it again sometime. |
