We have been making the most of our last week on the Ranch and riding every time we get a chance. Todd and his daughters took us up to his place for an adventure ride through a state park on his horses and it was the scariest ride I have ever been on, they love to gallop and jump up and down creek beds and hills through the forest and I have to admit I was glad to get home safely after 2 hours but Jesse absolutely loved it. We were lucky to have a week or tw...

Again we have had a busy week and have been fortunate enough to see many national parks and sights throughout New York State. The weather has turned uncharacteristically warm and all the locals seem to be talking about is how strange it is to be so warm at this time of year and that they usually still have 6 feet of snow for another month which means all the ski resorts etc have had to close down early but it suits Jesse and I perfectly especially because it ...

The pipes have also frozen making our toilet not work very well and the horses all have ice hanging off their chins and tails and their water troughs a...

She was very lovely and we picked up some groceries from a bulk store on the way to the ranch and the store was massive with soo much food, wish we had something like that in Longreach. We arrived at the ranch at about 5:30pm and met a few of the girls who have horses here and help out and a man named Todd who would be teaching us everything we need to kn...
