Trailriding Adventure



Leon needed some photos for a painting so his neighbor Mel Griffith took him up into Alaska Basin on his horses and was kind enough to let us and Jordan and his fiance Anna (who we love) tag along. It was BEAUTIFUL. Though we couldn't make it to the top due to snow we had an amazing time.














Jordan and Anna (in the orange hat, though you can't see her face) and Mel. Mel was a biology teacher and so we'd stop every so often and have a mini biology lesson, which was really cool.
















Troy and I. And YES I wore my cowboy hat because I love it.
















Jordan, Anna, Troy, Me, Kathy, and Leon when we stopped for lunch. Notice all the beautiful black horses? They're the Americana horses and BOY did they have a lot more energy going up and down that rocky trail than any trail horse I've ever been on. It was such a blast! P.S. Thank you SO much mom for watching Rockwell the whole day!

Matt rode with Brother Griffeth a lot when he went to school up there. Was there a horse named Chief? That was his horse. Anyway, looks like a lot of fun! Miss you!

Looks like so much fun! I had Bro. Griffeth for biology and we got to go riding with him. He was the best teacher!
