Best Western Peppertree Liberty Lake

... br> Leaving Saturday for L.A. where I'll meet up with Terry Chamorro and stay at her place Saturday night. Sunday morning we have a 7:45am flight out of LAX which means going to the airport at 5:45am. Ungodly time. We are flying on Mexicana Airlines via Mexico City to Guatemala City. <br>Not exactly sure yet where we'll meet up with Rose and Jim....probably at LAX before the flight.<br><br><br>

Finally got the truck back, all fixed and running beautifully. Decided to get on the road, though it was already 2 pm. Headed south along Flathead Lake through green forests and valleys to I-90, then west, west, west. All uphill, what a climb, to Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, then downhill into Washington State.

... of just going around a ring or for a trot around a park is definitely dull.   Thoroughly and utterly recommended. Honest guys forget the beach resorts for one year and try this. <br><br>Ps &#8211; for those that do not horse ride a tip (from Judith and Jane) was to wear pantyhose (tights)  - this was for the men and ladies of the group.  To aid chaffing.  Suggestion is that you don&#8217;t buy the spandex variety and make sure they are Queen Size for men.

What a hole and what an amazing course. American golf at its best where they think of everything including fans on greens to cool you down and ...

... a less glaring light.  We started trotting and then loping which seems faster than a canter but not quite a gallop however for some exciting reason my horse was charged decided to race Alison&#8217;s horse and we were racing along the small mountain treks so close to Alison&#8217;s horse that I was being pelted with stone chips flying from her horse and ripping into the soft branches of the trees and bushes we flew along. Ian&#8217;s horse ...

We were so looking forward to a bed.  As much as the RV is comfortable there is only a limit to how much time you can sleep on foam.  We drove around the Coeur d'Alene lake  and all had a good feeling about what was to come.   Up into the mountains along a dusty lane we were being encouraged to go further to find Red Horse Mountain Ranch.  We drove to the ranch house and was met by your stereo typical wrangler or wranglet, Ashley in jeans and gingham shirt ...
