Midnight Rider
Every year during the late summer, I find myself yearning for the high country. Mountain time for me is time to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a time to return to my roots. To be in wide open spaces is to rest, recuperate, and take time to reflect on and appreciate the joy of life in this world and all its beauty. I love to be on horseback in some remote valley with the river and the high mountain peaks thrilling all my senses. There have been times when I've stayed till dusk to watch the sun set and listen to the elk bugle. This of course, means a ride back to camp in the dark. It's at a time like this when one really appreciates the horse, its excellent night vision and its sense of the trail home. I've ridden through dark timber with my Stetson pulled low over my face to ward off branches, unable to see the trail, yet trusting the horse to get me back. There've been times when I've gotten into a little trouble, a cinch coming loose on a pack horse or a spooked horse that needs to be calmed down because a pack has come undone and the load has fallen to the ground. These are the memories I treasure and relive around the campfire, or back home when the trip's over. There are those special memories of riding out of the shadows and onto a ridge to be bathed in the moonlight. Whatever the experience, I always seem to be part of the group called the Midnight Riders.
