Set the alarm so that we could get a ride in before it got too hot today, still took us until nearly 10:00 before we managed to get out. Set out on the Blue Hole Trail, along the road then down the River Trail, looping back on the Sinkhole Trail. Beautiful trails here, good footing except for the occasional root, it’s great to be back in old cypress forests instead of straight, managed pines. Lots of gnarly old trees, green leaves, magnolias, it was gorgeous! The only problem here is that the trails are too short! We only went about three miles, but we took our time and enjoyed the woods, the shade kept it cooler that we thought. Got a nice little canter in across the final field to the campsite, let a couple of kids picnicking with their parents say hello to the horses before hooking them back up to their anchor so they graze on the nice green grass and clover next to the corrals for a while. After lunch, we headed out to the town of Marianna so that Hubby could get his blood test in (as suggested by the hospital in Orlando), then did some shopping at the new Tractor Supply in town, as well as the liquor store and a hardware store. Settled in for the evening, hoping for a good night’s sleep.
