Three Creeks
Held north of Fairfield
Hosted by "Hot Tin Foil" Ellen, Robert, Laurajean, and Shane
and their trusty steeds Ernie, Toby, JJ, an Ella
 

A fun ride and challenging ride (for some of us - LOL!) with beautiful scenery!

Friday

Beautiful country

And good company

Camp Friday night

Again, I had to work so it was DARK when I got there; especially since it was new moon!

This was in the intersection of two roads... I guess I'll go straight... (luckily, it was the right way to go!)
Notice all the cow prints. I guess they pulled out the post AND ate the arrow!

Beautiful place to camp!

Here come Zipper Lips again

After a brief discussion about going to #4 or #5 next, we all decided to go to #5
(which would eventually be a bad decision - LOL)

3 Amigos coming from #5

Such a beautiful single track trail!

Zipper Lips ahead

Lots of teams at #5, including Jail Break

Zipper Lips

Wanderers

And Die Hards II coming

Beautiful views between #4 and #5!

Jail Break coming behind

I could hear Zipper Lips down below at #4

Man in the Moon

Die Hards caught me again... We should have just ridden together as Candy suggested
(then I wouldn't have made the big mistake trying to get from #4 back to camp!)

Several teams decided to try to make the ride a loop rather than a lollipop... it was more scenic, but not faster!
Zipper Lips went that way and didn't come back, so I thought it was a good idea - haha!

South Fork Lime Creek

The trail goes in the creek for a ways

EVENTUALLY, we came out on the road that went back to camp several miles east of where we wanted to be

CAMP! FINALLY!

Waiting for teams to come in

3 Amigos headed for camp

Zipper Lips coming in

Everyone sitting around after the ride

Eating potluck

And telling stories

Finally! Happy Trails and Jail Break made it back!

This split in the road was VERY confusing in the dark!  HaHa!

Another thing I was nervous about going in in the dark!

Neat little homestead on the way in/out
