Frying Pan Wilderness Area ~ Basalt, Colorado
I took my daughter horseback riding for her 22nd birthday. She is smiling in the beginning. Our ride lasted eight hours. If you have not ridden a horse in a very long time, like most of your life, you will be smiling in the beginning. If you are smiling at the end of the ride, you are numb with joy.
Halfway through the ride, we stopped at a hole in the ground. No one has been able to determine the depth. Here, we are stopped at a cave that connects to the hole in the ground, which is directly behind me (I am taking the picture).
Shoni and I on top of the mountain. We are headed back to the beginning of the eight mile loop.
I'm still smiling.
