Camping with the Hags!




It's time to catch up.

The last time I typed I was just getting ready to head out to Interior to meet up with my Mom and John and head out to Mystic to go trail riding. That's just what I did!

After dropping Bart off at the other house, I took off down the road to Interior. I decided to take the back BIA road there just to see how pastures and crops looked and to check out the awesome view. I already knew that in order to meet Mom and John I had started a little late, but that didn't change my mind. I knew before I started that the road would probably not be the prettiest- and it wasn't-but I took it anyway. I will have to upload the pictures I stopped and took of some bucking horses and colts and the skyline view from a high point on the road. When I hit Cedar Pass they were doing some road construction, so that slowed me down a little bit- but I got there. After leaving late (because I was writing in this thing!), taking the backroad, stopping for pictures, and road costruction I made pretty good time. They had only been waiting five minutes for me at the Prairie Dog store- and of course they had to feed the prairie dogs!

We transferred my bag to John's car and took off for the hills. I took a nap in the back for most of the way until we made it to Keystone. We had to stop at the taffy shop- because let's face it, it's pretty much amazing. Then, we stopped for some root beer floats and walked up the boardwalk for a few minutes- then took off for the campground. Within less than an hour we were at Mystic Hills camground moving in to cabins three and four. Don't know where Mystic is?...well neither did I! When we got there Kay and Martin were unloading Ace and Dancer (John's horse) so we went and helped with that. After getting them all settled in and moving our own stuff in we decided to go find some food in Deadwood. We all piled in John's car and took off. We ended up eating at the Buffalo Steakhouse- which later became known as the Buffalo Bistro because we couldn't remember the second part of the name...duh! The food was good and Deadwood is always fun to check out. After eating we headed back to the campground to feed horses and met up with Bob and Pat who had been visiting their daughter and her family for a few hours. We just hung out for the evening and watched some tv before heading to bed.

As it turns out I was super impressed with the new cabins and their furnishings at this place. They have a really nice lodge with a restuarant and all sorts of different types of campsites. They (the riding group mom is in called the "Hag's on Nags") picked a great time to do this as well because most of the schools arent' quite out yet so it's quite and being there during the week helps with this too. Everyone seemed pretty impressed with the place and enjoyed our little conjoined cabins! So, we had something to look forward to the next day!
