Meadow Creek
East of Idaho City
Hosted by "Happy Trails" Robin and "Die Hards II" Candy and Mike
and their trusty steeds Scotty, Sissy, and Jimmy

A nice ride you could ride many different ways (and people did!) with beautiful scenery and a fun theme!

Friday

Boy, the river/reservoir is LOW!

Smokey!

Candy and Mike did a great job of signage!

Ran into Christine and Lee out for an afternoon ride

Family, Friends, and Football at #1

Farm Fresh Pumpkins at #1

Lee, Christine, Rita, and Darrell Finding #1

Candy ready to take registrations

Deuce all tuckered out

The Gathering at "Midway" (midway between headquarters and campers)
and Lee and Christine brought over their fire pit

Saturday

First out of camp: "Brush Poppers" Wendy and Brandy, Jesse and Sage

We were surprised they headed out of camp that way...

Toni and Nemo

John and Shorty

"3 Amigos" Chris and Skip, Toni and Nemo, John and Shorty

Count down to get the map

Almost there...

Go!

And they went out of camp that way, too...

Deuce seeing off the teams

"Hot to Trot" Darrell and Chica, Rita and Holly

And they went out that way, too...

"Wanderers" Stasia and Bozo, Patty and Honey

They started out that way... then Stacia stopped and tried to talk Patty into going the other way...

But in the end, they went out that way, too...

"Hot Tin Foil" Laurajean and JJ, Shane and Ella, Ellen and Ernie

And they went out that way, too...

"Lucky Lady" Kathryn and Rock

She went out the way we thought everybody would go

Lee and Christine relaxing and enjoying breakfast before going out last

The Stagecoach Gaited Posse even has their horses in perfect step!

"The Stagecoach Gaited Posse" Derek and Willie, Lisa and Ruby, Terry and Peppermint

And they, too, went out that way...

Mike is great at photobombs!  LOL

My wonderful helpers for this ride! (I actually feel like I helped them not the other way around)

The Starting Stump: Friends Gather Here

"Zipper Lips" Raina and Whiskey, Bob and Billy, Barry and Bit

They looked over their maps for a long time

Then they went out of camp the way we thought everyone would

Last, but not least, "Renegades" Christine and Mystic, Lee and Shadow

They went out of camp that way...

Just kidding.

We set the ride backwards, and since most went that way, it should look familiar in this order:

The landmark we made when we set the ride...

The landmark we had to replace it with (since someone stole our landmark)

We came across a momma and baby bear
(mom ran so fast I didn't get a picture of her, but the baby posed for me) Sissy was really NOT impressed!

A little blood was shed making this trail passable

Again, the landmark as we set it...

The landmark as seen on the ride (since someone stole our sign)

Candy's pumpkin

Friday night the marker was still there...

But this is all teams found on the ride

We suspect the guys that camped here after we checked markers on Friday afternoon
(though they denied it when Christine asked them)

Mike resting while we were setting it

Jimmy begging for a bite of Candy's snack

Everyone that went this way took this trail

But we decided to take the road (a little longer but not as steep)

I hear riders coming

Woodland Pinedrops (Pterospora)
Pinedrops is a member of the Indian-pipe family (Monotropaceae).
Pinedrops is a root parasite, depending on its association with a mycorrhizal fungus
that is also associated with a pine tree. Pinedrops produces very little chlorophyll
and is therefore not green in color and does not conduct photosynthesis.
