| Our base camp was nestled in a valley just South of Rockglen, SK in a pasture owned by Warren Spagrud. |
 |
| where grazing was plentiful... (Saddie and Willow) |
 |
| and the scenery was stunning! |
 |
| The weather was nice and warm.... with gentle breezes to keep most bugs at bay |
 |
| skies were blue..and you could see for miles from many hilltops... |
 |
| taking a short break to rest the teams and enjoy each others company... there were about 8 wagons and 50 to 70 riders attending this year. |
 Jake visited one evening, and went for a little hill climbing with Jasmine. |

Our Thanks to the ice cream man... Clint Anderson (on foot) who so generously bought the treats!   took a refreshing dip in the pond at the old boyscouts' camp   friend to join the fun of swimming   the wagons sit, unhitched at the end of another day  getting ready to go visiting under the big top, and enjoy the evening campfire... along with music, poetry, and cowboy tales.  |
So the close comes to another wonderful day....
and then, too soon, this year's ride is over,
and it's time to say farewell to friends,
old and new...until next year!
