Slept late through a fabulously quiet morning, had a late breakfast, got some work done before finally saddling up and heading out at about 1:30. It was a hot day, with temps in the low 90's, which was a nice change after some of the cool weather we've been having. Headed out on a Google-made map I drew, past a windmill with a stock tank where I spent a few minutes schooling Apollo, as the tank was odd-looking by his standards, then continued onward, until were stopped by a gate and a trail that seemed to peter out, so we rode the fenceline for a while, before coming to a trail that took us to another windmill, which was actually back on the original trail I had drawn, but way at the end of it, so we changed tactics, heading for the forest road south of here, which was the original track, then headed east to 212, the road that the campground is on. We ended up back at camp pretty quickly, after only a short hour ride or so, watering the horses at the big stock tank there before putting them away. Hubby commented that he preferred rides that went through woods, even though we got in several very nice canters over the prairie, so I promised the next ride would go east toward the man-made forest that makes up the Bessey Ranger District. Did some more work for the rest of the afternoon before settling down for the evening.
