Re: [RC] Love Valley Gunslingers - Timothy WordenTom, The little town of Love Valley is alive and well. Not only must your gun be loaded, but the first rule when you ride into town is "No shooting in town". Very cool little town. I think Lara and I were the only one's without guns or liquior. No vehicle in town, you either walk in or ride in. Love Valley is complete with a few saloons, dancing at night, shops, and blacksmith. The trails that go out around the area are not easy either. Very rocky and at times very muddy. Great conditioning if it's not too muddy or too many drunks on trail;) I guess someone tried to put on an endurance ride there once. Here's some pics that will give you a good idea what the town is like. http://www.lovevalley.com/MISCPIC/town%20enterance.jpg http://www.lovevalley.com/MISCPIC/Town%20Rider.jpg Tim --- goearth <goearth@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon comes first to mind. But, there are 3 Endurance Riders i know that pack right off the bat. One has a .44 Magnum that she carries everywhere for protection, but she doesn't carry it on rides probably because its so big. The other 2 have a .32 and a .38 and they carry it in their cantle bags. Once, one went to the airport and forgot she was packing and got caught by security and being before 911 she still had a lot of explaining to do. I still remember Baugher the Viet Nam Poet who said..."Why do i dream of peace and flowers and wake up with a knife in my hand?" Its probably not a good idea to carry weapons on a ride, but some Ladies see it as a means of protection and not an act of aggression, especially on those dark nights out in the boonies all alone. Which reminds me of a ride at Love Valley in N.C. The only rule they have there is that if you carry a weapon it has to be loaded. What stories there are to tell about Love Valley and i only went there once and what an experience that was. What ever happened to Love Valley? ts =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
