We arrived around lunch time and Dana, the owner, allowed us to put the horses in the round pen so they could stretch their legs a bit before they went into the paddock.
Overlake is a large boarding facility and the boarders I spoke with were very happy.
The horses are sharing a large paddock with plenty of room to move around.
They each get a shelter and Lennox is spending most of his time in the shade as it is still pretty hot here.
One of the boarders told me that Bridle Trails State Park has the most beautiful horse trails in the entire country. They are pretty, but they rank up with Silver Falls. A lot of red cedar trees. The trails are wide, mostly flat, and hard pack, not rocky. The trails are extensive and it is easy to get lost.
We were able to park our trailer on the farm property. No electric or water hook-ups, but we can refill our water tanks before we leave. Basically, we are boondocking inside the farm. But we're parked out of the way and we are safe.
There was a short shower early Friday morning while we were sleeping. The rain woke us up. No leaks in the trailer - hurrah! But given that we are basically living in an aluminum can, we heard the rain pretty well. It was a short shower, lasted less than 30 minutes, and the ground was barely wet when we got up to feed the horses. So glad our hay is stored in a hay pod on the roof of the trailer. That means it stays dry in the rain and, hopefully, won't get moldy.
We hope to do another ride this morning and then we are off to our next stop.
