[RC] FL Endurance/Osceola Forest/Feb. 3 2007 - Jean Wonser
Cheer up, those of you who love The Osceola National
Forest! There will be a competition 50/25 on Feb. 3, 2007., Cow Pen
Trail. This is a 'no frills, benefit ride for a medical need'
managed by long-time distance rider Cindy Treece of Macclenny.
The Osceola is convenient being on the NE quad of I-75 and
I-10, near Lake City Florida. When dry it can be a very easy woods
trail, with grassy trails, almost no deep sand, very little rock; During
the winter rains or after hurricanes it can be wet, as basically a swamp with
Pine flatwoods on edges. Then it is a challenge to riders learning to ride
through water holes and creeks. Some horses take a while to adjust
to drinking the tanin taste water (black water) but they get over it by 25
miles usually.
The flier is in work at present but want to let everyone
mark the calendar. She has a message on cell 904 497 8135;
home 904 259 21522 eve. best. Pass the word for
volunteers too.
