We took a 17.5 mile reality check ride yesterday... always a good thing to put life back into perspective. My wife as we entered the Wilderness. Me on "big" Dawn... I'm startling to think I should have named her "Rock ette" With her long legs and stride we cover country like a rocket! Topped out at this nice high mountain lake... Just a pic to remember what we were riding for.. ;-)

It's been 36 years here.My wife can't ride anymore but doens't complain when I'm gone 24-25 days every fall elk hunting.She claims it's her vacation from me.

She says, we both need some time alone. Hmmm... Could it be me? Nooo Originally Posted by saddlesore 11 years, you're just getting the new rubbed off.
