Okay - so today we had breakfast - cowboy style... although not totally... everywhere we go one of the options for breakfast is 'Biscuits and Gravy'... really??? What are biscuits and gravy??? Salty scones and white creamy, cheesy gravy with either bacon or sausage thrown in... I've managed to avoid it for eight weeks - but the resident chef here has guaranteed that his special recipe will convert me to a cowboy breakfast... obviously the vegetarian in the party has successfully avoided this delicacy!!!
We then went on a four hour horse ride into the canyon... Jay's horse was called 'Plymouth' and mine was called 'Trixie'... the ride was fantastic and the views were lovely...
Our wrangler was a real live 'cowgirl'... we had a cowboy cook out mid way through the ride... before making our way back to the ranch...
there were a number of us on the ride... but the best were the two teenagers who came complete with I-pods!!!
On getting back to the ranch we just had a really relaxing afternoon... before joining a lovely American couple who are also staying at the ranch for wine on the patio and then dinner... they are both retired and were real interesting to debate with...
...we are now off to bed - as it is another early rise tomorrow as we are off for another ride and cookout...
...we have included a few interesting photos - other than the scenic ones... including the things that we needed for our ride (hat, sunscreen, lip ice and sunglasses)... and of course the best photo - the bear repellent!!!
We have added the website above for the ranch - have a look... it's really 'ranchy'!!! (not raunchy... that's a different place!!!)
Now I'm not sure but is that really a stetson, me thinks not! Breakfast sounds lovely as long as the bears don't get to it first.
ReplyDeleteSO Jacinta should be able to show all sorts of new skills learned at the hands of the 'old coboys'. I'll look forward to you wrangling the sheep on the farm and lassooing (hmm not sure that's how you spell that)the dog
