The 2005 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We are fulltime RV's. This means we have no other home but our motor home. We joined the Escapees RV Club and use their mail forwarding service and forum. In addition to Escapees forum, you can find us on rv.net and lrv2.com. We are Richard n Shirley on all of them. We access the internet with a Direcway satellite dish mounted on a tripod. We do set up the dish at every place we stop for the night or more. We are #2321 on datastormusers.com. Click us and you will find our current location.

I have no idea what this is called. Four riders enter the arena one at a time. The first rider trips the timer and they go around the four inline barrels, around the three corner barrels and then return to the inline barrels and out the gate. The last rider trips the timmer on exit which gives the total time of the event.
It was interesting to watch. Oh, a tipped barrel, which you see did happen, is a 5 second penalty.
These are teenagers doing the riding and they are fast. And they can really ride their horses.
This event took place actually saturday. But both we have a upset tummys so sunday was a day of rest.

If this upset condition continues into tuesday, its time to sanitize the water tank and lines. From my overseas experience, we probably got some bad water at one of our stops. This tank is from Spirit Lake. We were ok till then. For more on sanitizing a water tank, do a search on any of the forums. Surley we will be better by tuesday.

We will probably move monday. With the state budget passed, we will go to a state information center and get literature and a map to see what there is for us to see and do. We are free thru noon sunday and we paid the $5.00 thru monday. Sure helps our budget to have free parking and no miles on the RV.
