Castle Rock Ride

After lunch, we got back in our saddles for a ride to Castle Rock. It was still really windy, and we all wore ball caps, as opposed to cowboy hats. You couldn't even hear each other talk.
The scenery continues to be beautiful. There was a ridge with three trees on it. Apparently, it has been a landmark for years. It is called "The Three Indians," as the Blackfeet say it represents Indians on the lookout.

Castle Rock is a sandstone outcrop, on the top of a ridge. We all dismounted, and the wranglers took the horses while we explored. Climbing the rocks was fun, but I didn't want to go too high! The other reason we go to a ridge every day is that it's the only place that there is a signal. So everyone was on their phone. I did a Duolingo and then relaxed.

The way home was on the other side of the ridge was even more windy. We estimated that it was at least 70 mph! You couldn't hear anything, and my necklace even tied into knots. Once we got on the other side of the ridge, it was a bit better.

We unsaddled, and I had an easier time taking off my boots! Then, it was drinks around the fire and a really good meal of pasta with cream sauce. This meal even had a side of zucchini and peppers! There have been few green veggies.

We hung out around the fire and then I called it a night.Read more
