 rather doubt the camper people could've heard them), the comforting 
 background whisper of horses munching or occasional moving about on their 
 picket lines joined the whispered night music, and I ended up very, very 
 content.  It was a spiritual and very soul-filling experience.  I felt sorry 
 for the deprived souls in the campers!

 mentioned in an earlier post, and perhaps it wasn't just the transcendence 
of 
 the night I was feeling . . .<g>  >>


That was damn beautiful.  Been there myself, although cheap beer works just 
as well.  Haven't heard a coyote in awhile, but that munching sound always 
gets to me.
I hear they have bears at my next ride (6 days and counting) so, maybe, 
staying by the fire will be safer than in my flimsy Wal-Mart tent that a 
flying sparrow could penetrate with little difficulty. 

cya,
Howard
