ARE YOU CRAZY????

What response do I most hear when I tell people who know me (and well don't know me ) that I am going to ride the entire Colorado Trail, from Denver to Durango , 486 miles all in one stretch on horseback ? From my bosses to my brother it is an unequivocal - "Are you Crazy? !!"

Riding the Colorado Trail - this has been Deb's dream since she was a young girl , I just got caught up in her enthusiasm and agreed to go along - not thinking what approximately 43 days in the saddle, sleeping on the ground or eating MRE type food would be like. But that is Deb - I bet I'm not the only one who has agreed to some of her ideas when she approaches you with that big confident smile - nothing that cowgirl believes she can't do!

Our pastor from the Wild West Cowboy Church , Larry Smith, will be someone I blame also for saddle sores next summer - maybe he thought we were crazy when we told him about our plans over my dinner table one night but he didn't voice it - he just suggested if we are going to undertake a ride like this that we ride for a cause and planted the seed to do that for the Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center in Westcliffe, CO - our small hometown where Deb and I reside with our husbands, horses and small packs of dogs.
Maybe we should ask those mustangs we adopted, the one little Morgan mare and the pups we are training to accompany us for this ride what they think .....
