Hey, Everyone! JC's birthday was on the 26th and he chose to go horseback riding! Central City is about an hour from where we live and is an old mining town with a few casinos and hotels. We drove out there to go horseback riding and then spent a little bit of time in the town. Here are some of the pictures:
JC looking like he knows what he's doing ;) I'm impressed with his riding skills, even though he's only been a few times.
This is Mt. Evans. We camped there last summer...
This is an old mine that we walked through on the horses...
JC rode Tonka and I rode Gary...
One of the best parts of this riding trip was when we were able to ride ahead of the guide and the other couple we were with. We got about 15 minutes where it was just us and our horses =)
We rode past another old mine and through an evergreen forest...
And then through an aspen grove....
Was able to get a decent selfie while on the horse =)
The whole month of October was Halloween themed for us. We had 13 Nights of Horror where we watched a different horror movie every night, went to a haunted corn maze, haunted house, and shot zombies with paintball guns! So for JC's birthday I chose a graveyard ride. This cemetery is from the 1800s and we went through the gate on the horses and rode all through it.
Right before we got back to the barn we saw this Red Tailed Hawk...
This is an abandoned school house on the side of the road that took us to the barn...
And these are pictures of an abandoned mine...
And this is downtown Central City...
As I am writing this, it is snowing. It's only been a couple weeks since these pictures were taken, but winter has arrived and fall is gone. I am looking at the trees in the picture below on the left and they are bare now. I am glad to see the snow fall, but sad to see autumn leave. Til next year!
