Ethel's area




First of all, only experienced riders with calm horses should ride near autos and motorcycles. That being said, there are a couple of areas of concern on the trail near Ethel's (Old Corral Cafe).


As the photos show, there were some yellow poles placed to block vehicles from entering the horse trail. Good idea, but it's time for repairs. Note that the trail has eroded around the base of the poles leaving exposed concrete. A cut in this area of the leg could cause a horse to be laid up for a couple of months, so many riders are going around the outside of the poles.
There is also some barbwire that is laying on the ground, though at this time it's clearly visible, it sure would be nice to have it tightened up.
