Day 2

I'm still not riding ... tomorrow's the day. Steb 2 left for Denver/Nashville after we worked out next year's dates.

The rest of the gang rode to Beer Belly Gulch; comes out below Castle Rock. Apparently Sundance's horse was spooked by a jeep, horse went to his knees but the rider stayed on.

Yesterday afternoon 16 - 73 year olds took power naps before joining the Guastellas-Chandors on the Boulder porch. Matt and a wranger rode to Red Canyon.  He returned to the cabin and indulged his grandparents by listening to our 70's tunes. Actually both men indulged me as PB's not a 70's fan.

Dumbfounded to notice Matt's reading  "Undefeated"; a story of Jim Thorpe and Pop Warner. JT's family. I'm ultra sensitive about what's written and/or reported. Natch, I quickly scanned the book; should lead to interesting discussion this week.

The guys are shooting this afternoon; MC and I are driving to Buffalo.

Very small world at the ranch. Newbies at our table - 3 generations, from greater Boston area. The grandparents both graduated from Milton. Grandson Michael graduated from Milton last June. The grandfather's father was on the Moses Brown board. Matt attends Moses Brown.


Apparently, we're the ranch Meet and Greet committee ... 5 meals ... moved 3x's.
