We decided to take our anniversary trip, which is in October to a Texas State Park since we have a Texas State Park Pass.

It was a few months before my husband’s birthday and we wanted to take a trip and go horseback riding somewhere here in Texas.

We promised some of our NJ horseback riding friends, that even though we were moving to Texas we would meet them somewhere & go ride.

We were getting into the deep south and kept losing cell service—‘Four K Stables’ sounded like a backwoods kind of place.

It was Sunday morning & we were excited about our next place to ride. We packed up the horses in their horse trailer & we were off!

It was Thursday when we left Cherokee Trails Campground and it was on a hot, sunny day. We headed southwest to Timber Ridge Campground.

We left Fort Valley Ranch on a bright cold, sunny day and headed south to Tennessee on Route 81.

We headed out on Route 84 South from our house in NJ on a bright clear morning in May 2013.

It was one of those rainy summers in Pennsylvania and that meant muddy trails. How muddy was an eye opener to us.

We decided to go for a long weekend to Gettysburg National Battlefield, PA. We packed the horse trailer & the RV with everything we needed.
