City of Rocks Ride 

City of Rocks had better weather than Pocatello. We were lucky though, areas of rain could be seen moving around but none hit us. Robin, Tyler, Darrel, Darryl and Steve had lunch halfway through the City of Rocks Ride. As you can see raincoats are on just in case. Steve Hurley came up on Friday and mapped the Castle Rocks area. Castle Rocks has a different flavor than City of Rocks. It is a smaller area and riders are closer to actual rock formations. City of Rocks has more vista and bigger cliffs. Steve found a fishing pond and caught his first trout of the year. Tyler was visiting from the Cache Peak Chapter. Robin has a new horse and looks forward to doing more riding this summer. Darryl Cook and Darryl Beard are the best riding companions.

Crane Creek Ride 5-19-2018

The Snake River Ride was beautiful. Temperature was good. Horses were excited but calmed down after a little exercise.

Three corrals at the Pebble Guard Station were repaired on August 15th. Then on August 22nd, six corrals at the Big Springs Horse Campsites were repaired by the Back Country Horsemen working with Boy Scouts participating in Jake Ballard's Eagle Project. Boy Scouts contributed at least another 40 hours of hands on labor. The Westside Ranger District supplied poles and lag bolts.
