This page is photos from our Oct 14th trip to Giant City state park to ride. This time we took our dogs mules and horses and camped and were met there by our friends Todd, Lori, David, Lynne, Sean and Michelle.  The weather was beautiful.  The park has incredible rock formations, nice hot showers, and a really nice Lodge that serves a really good breakfast and supper. I highly recommend this park. We did a 2 hour ride on Sat afternoon and a 4 or 5 hour 12 mile ride on Sunday after riding up to the lodge and having breakfast.

Mules and Horse on picket line.  Kris and I built that picket line system from pictures we saw and attached it to the posts already at the camp.  Molly and Penny escaped Friday night at 2:00AM Fortunately our camp neighbors were till up and caught them.  We think Penny untied both of them.
