RIDDING IN THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN 2000
Al and I went to the UP where my family is
to hit some of the hundreds of miles of trails
in the beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan.
The weather was flawless , the bugs were
no problem and thanks to Uncle Allie, and
Uncle Frank the camping was spectacular.
The UP has hundreds of miles of trails, and
the snow mobile routes are well marked and
run the entire distance of the UP. There
are spots were the creeks or rivers must
be negotiated because the corduroy bridges
are not in condition for horse crossing but
these are all being replaced one by one.
The beavers always play a part in trail ridding
because a trail that was passable for an
ATV may now be swampy due to the beavers
finding a nice new home and rerouting a creek
but all in all the UP offers hundreds of
miles and hours of trail ridding splendor.

Ridding along the lake This is Travelers Little Kiss's and I ridding in Lake Huron Kiss is our 3 year old filly and I can't say enough about her . This was her first outing and she handled everything so well even I was in awe of her. Uncle Frank and Barbara Taylor invited us for a shore line ride and my dreams were answered. Every so often Family amazes you with so much . Thank you Frank and Barbara for everything! |
