We did so well at OD, we were gonna try it again, mother\/daughter team on Penny and Steel. Unfortunately, Naoma’s car started drinking oil so she needed her money to repair it.\u00a0 She is very very sad.\u00a0 I am very very sad.\u00a0 I really enjoyed spending the weekend at OD with Naoma.<\/p>\n
I have reached out to a couple people I know to ride Steel. Ro had already asked about taking Steel to Vermont to ride 75 miles so I thought picking up a ride for 30 miles would be a good team building experience.\u00a0 Ro quickly said, “Why Yes! Pick me!”<\/p>\n
The weather is showing itself to be pretty normal for this time of year.\u00a0 Hot 90 degrees and humidity in the upper 80%.\u00a0 Of course, this doesn’t make me happy – Dodie weather is anything under 60 degrees.<\/p>\n
Hmmmm<\/p>\n
Penny Pony doesn’t cool off as nicely as Steel, so I have to take it easy and be aware that we need plenty of water-water-water.<\/p>\n
So, now that it’s time to leave for the ride, I find myself with some trepidation. Our last camping experience was not so fun.\u00a0 Penny Pony was a very bad camper and I was not interested in a repeat performance.\u00a0 I thought that I might cut down on the size of her corral and maybe park somewhere hidden from view.\u00a0 Since they were not letting anyone into the base camp until high noon, I figured I would get there with plenty of time to get a parking spot in a blind area.<\/p>\n
On my way to the ride, which is literally an hour and a half from us, I chose to ignore my turn onto 209 and take a 20 mile detour by continuing down 901.\u00a0 I have no idea why I did this.\u00a0 Seems I was in my thoughts about how to handle Penny Pony if she was not going to camp well again.<\/p>\n
Poop<\/p>\n
I arrive at camp at 1:00 and<\/p>\n
WTF?<\/p>\n
There are already about 50 rigs there and the parking attendant is all frazzled because she has no idea where to put anyone else coming in.\u00a0 I told her that I thought my friends were going to save me a spot and she said, “No, we were not allowing anyone to save spots.”<\/p>\n
Oh boy<\/p>\n
