Jump

The photo to the left is proof that Donna and I went for a walk in the Woods today. OK, not really proof, I could have taken the picture months ago, but I wouldn’t say it on the Internets if it wasn’t true, would I?

The sign(s) is posted at the entrance to Crawford Fences where the kindly caretakers have placed stacks of large logs at intervals in a clearing for the horse riders to jump over. There are lots of actual fences and other log piles placed on trails throughout the 2,000 acres, but in all the time we have been walking in Hitchcock Woods we have never seen a horse and rider jump one. They always take the little alternate path around these obstacles.

I think next time we pass that way I will rip down those two pieces of wood, it is scaring off all the perspective jumpers, more people would take advantage of the jumps if they knew they could sue someone if they get hurt doing it.
