Well, and it's not really flat either.  If you look across the whole valley 
from on top of the mountain you'll see that there isn't anything totally 
flat anywhere.  I got some of the most beautiful photos I've ever taken at 
this ride.  I love how storms cause the desert scenery to look so dramatic, 
it's truly beautiful.

Here is one photo that is made more interesting because of the 
storm:  http://www.endurohorse.com/EHRide1904/5598.jpg

This one shows that while the valley looks flat, it is certainly not "level":

Bored?  How could you get bored on the back of a horse!!!   Barbara, I 
never got bored on the Applegate-Lassen trail!  Maybe you should do it 
again so I can go back and see if it's more boring the 2nd time! :+))
