Monday, August 23, 2010 - Cleaning Day

As we had a source of water, we decided it was high time to do a good cleaning of the vehicles. They all had a cover of dirt months old, so we scrubbed and scrubbed, getting everything looking sharp. How long it will last is anybody's guess, but it was worth doing. It took most of the day, added to a short trip to check email and phone messages, so we were exhausted by the day's end. We had just enough energy after dinner to go watch the sun set, although this time, I decided to ride my gelding bareback without a halter, while Hubby walked his mare up. My gelding did a wonderful job of standing still while we watched the sun set, again on a beautiful evening, then, as we turned to head back toward camp, we discovered a nearly full moon rising above the opposite landscape, atop the hills behind us. It was spectacular! A quick walk back, a movie, and then to bed.
