Today we continued our drive north through the mountains. Our destination was the small town of Buena Vista,nestled between the Arkansas River and the Rockies. We are here today to ride in a National Forest and relax before we take on the rapids of the Arkansas. The kids had the chance to saddle up, and trail ride up into the mountains. Thier ride started at an elevation of 8,000', just shy of the timberline. Teagan rode "Rum", and Cristian rode "Ringo", both quarter horses. There was also a pretty palamino horse there too, mom!!! We had a great day and can't wait to go white water rafting tomorrow, but we may not be able to get pictures of it, because we are gonna get soaked!!!! If we do upload them, you're lucky!!! See you guys in......Aspen!!!!!
Karan, Fred, Teagan and Cristian

OOPS!! i did not check my typing!!
Have more fun!!!
I am impressed by a trail ride at over 8,0000 ft altitude. That's around a mile and a half above sea level. How was the oxygen level?
Next, to beat this, you will have to do a trail ride in the Alps, the Andean or the Himalaya mtns.
Rafting will be fun - could be a little more exciting than the Plattekill.
