A Couple of Days in the Pasture - Puyallup, Washington

This is Luke. He saw me, immediately fell to the ground and rolled over to get his belly rubbed. Apparently, he knew I am a dog person. Of course, I obliged and rubbed his belly.

I purchased some custom frames from Michael's right before we left for our trip. One of the frames came with this small level with an adhesive back to help ensure you hang the picture straight. I saved it and have installed it in the middle of our trailer living space - above our dinette table. I use it to ensure our trailer is parked level. I don't have to look for a level each time we park and it isn't in the way.

We are currently staying at Creekwood Ranch in Puyallup, Washington. We are getting a break from the 100 degree weather. It has been gray, cool, and overcast. There isn't any trail access from the ranch, but we are OK taking a break for a couple of days and letting the horses rest in the pasture before we head to the coast.

We are able to hook up electrical and we are using the water in our tanks for now. The next place has full hook-ups, so we are fine.

Thanks to Betty Lou from Overlake Farm for taking this nice picture of Ari and me. Betty Lou gave us a walking tour of the farm. The ranch has been in the family for three generations. 

A coyote feasted on several of their chickens the night after we arrived. They lost about six chickens. All that was left was a pile of feathers at the site of each massacre.

I really like this sign which was posted at the entrance to Bridle Trails State Park. It explains the importance of cleaning up after your dog and why horse poop is actually good for the forest.

One of the horses at Overlake Farm shared quarters with a sheep. Horses are social animals and if they are alone they can get depressed and anxious, just like people. It's common to provide a horse with a companion if they are alone. Normally, people use a goat as they are cheaper to keep. This is the first time I have seen a sheep used as company for a horse, but they seemed to get along just fine.

This is where we parked at Overlake. We were out of the road. No electric or water hook-up, but we felt safe.
