The Adventure Begins

Day one of our odyssey was really Thursday. It was the day that everything we have been collecting for THE LIST needed to get into the two trucks and trailers. Sandra came over that evening and pulled her  Vintage truck and Tilly the Tent Trailer in behind Lyn's truck (which really needs a clever name) and horse trailer.

It took Sandra, Lyn (alias Flamingo Crew Chief), my husband Tom and me a couple of hours to get everything loaded and organized. We were all exhausted and the sun had set by the time we were finished.

Tia and Delight were in the barn watching us. They were each knee deep in hay, grain and yummy beet pulp (horses love soppy wet soaked beet pulp, and it is good for them). I am sure they had no idea why they were getting such royal treatment. Poor innocent horses!

The next morning we were up at the crack of dawn. No, I think it may have been before dawn - I can't tell you truthfully because my eyes don't actually function until after 8 o'clock or so. We loaded our suitcases and the horses and left 15 min ahead of schedule. It was a good sign.

 Poor innocent humans
