We had a total of 8 teams participate for some or all parts of the weekend.
We had 6 teams camp at Camp Taylor!
We had 7 1/2 teams at Brook Hollow Winery Friday night for dinner.
There was no ride on Friday, all 8 teams rode on Saturday & 4 teams rode on Sunday.
Friday:
The $5 dinner or BYO food and free local music by Stan and Elise at
the Brook Hollow Winery was fun, delicious, & entertaining with outdoor
seating overlooking the vineyard and the Delaware Water Gap... and the
wine and wine slushies were tasty too!
Saturday:
All 8 teams rode the 20+ miles out and back to Tracy Cates's farm for lunch
and a "mule" ride... see the pics. This is an old army machine and not
a living animal :-) One team visited a local Farm and the Wolf Preserve
in the late afternoon. The 6 teams camping had a group dinner with the
campfire and music afterwards.
Sunday:
Four teams rode the rail trail out and back to Blairstown, toured
Main St. and stopped at the Blairstown Airport for a bite for lunch.
Two teams toured the Wolf Preserve at the edge of the campground. One of
these teams had a few nature visitors at their remote campsite with the
more usual deer, but not so usual wild turkeys, and even a passing bear
one morning!
We packed and departed for home after a weekend with great weather, riding and company.
