my lovely trip

["robert and carla lawson" <robandcarla@hotmail.com>]

Well I went to East Tennessee to get some rest and relaxation! Took my Horse 
along with me. I was in the area not only hoping to rest and relax but also 
do some work on a business deal. Seems we all can never get away from IT ALL 
if someone does manage will you please contact me? If I have to worry about 
my dogs or horse then you haven't found IT ALL. I have seem to missed some 
of the discussions on ride camp! sheesh I had 46 of the things waiting on me 
NO PUTER!I am still suffering from withdrawal. OK OK I am rambling here 
again!
I had the wonderful pleasure of riding a 7 mile trail in Morristown 
Tennessee at the Panther Creek State Park. It is managed by the Lakeway 
Horse Club. It goes along the lake for about 4mi. I actually went down to 
the lake for Baru's first visit. Needless to say she was rather in AWE at 
such a large amount of water. A small wave went up her nose and the 
bewildered look was absolutely priceless.  I had three brief encounters with 
some white tail deer a 4pt buck and 3 does.  They actually stopped and 
watched us pass. One doe was afraid of some hikers I came across. Heck Baru 
was afraid of them too, they were not very friendly to me when I addressed 
them, Hikers don't understand "passing on the left." They took a pick of the 
deer but not of my purdy arab mare. Baru was most offended. She left a pile 
of poop for them. It was really a lovely trip and the trail was great oh for 
the Rock fearing folks it has limestone rocks and some nice bigguns too!!! 
we climbed a few for the fun of it. I saw a group of vultures where they 
nested, it was very neat. Nothing quite was breathtaking as seeing all the 
mountains coming down to meet the lake.I highly recommend this if you are 
heading that way. they have a campground for horses. VERY VERY primitive. 
They have a nearby human campground on the main facility. Also a boat dock 
and a 1.5 mile bike trail,swimming pool, and they have some kind of wildlife 
zoo thing. I was going to see about riding on Clingmans dome, But on this 
trip it sent me to the DR with some bad back trouble, it kind of ruined my 
riding plans but hey there will be more trails. I wanted to tell all about 
this trail it really worked my horse to drop her nose and look down at the 
trial. Yes it is small but they need some support, if you are ever in the 
area drop by and take a ride,COGGINS TEST NEEDED HAVE IT ON YOU! They have 
it in the works of possibly getting more trail heads worked on to open it up 
to over 20+ miles of trail plus even opening up more trails that will 
connect more trails (did that make sense?) Okay enuff babbling!  Have a 
great ride
Carla (recovering) and Baru (whew no more of that darn loading and unloading 
again we are home!)
