2.50 the one with a sick horse, and a team of Wranglers!

The last 48 hours were long... We hit a few walls of exhaustion and blasted through them.

We also had a horse get a little bit of colic this morning, quite a few hours of walking him around and a shot of medicine later the horse appears to be ok but time will tell.

I noticed two things about our team today. The first was during a brief afternoon break, every Wrangler took a nap (some planned, others during the meeting they were in or on the floor shortly after their meeting).

When the afternoon ride was done and we flew through cleanup we were walking back to camp and everyone was laughing and joking with each other... I love the camaraderie that grows out of working closely with this crew.

2.49 the one with another weekend in casper and the second to last beginning of the summer

The drive to casper went well, turns out with high school kids you can tell them to use the restroom and then not worry about stopping on the way to a place.

We arrived on time and all of the kids filtered away to their various rides and guardians n whatnot and I headed over to what is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. 5 guys is one tasty burger... I then spent the rest of the night napping, and finishing my book (age of fire book 6). I then started off the next morning with beginning The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, thus far I'm intrigued but haven't decided if I just like it... or if I love it.

Otherwise I enjoyed a few good meals (the cheese barrel? and olive garden) and some traditional bachelor meals (club crackers, cheese whiz, and mtn dew!) and slept lots and did whatever came to mind. Sadly this did not include blogging so you folks were left in the dark over the weekend.

This morning started slow and began to pick up speed, I'm safely back at camp and have a full roster of wranglers and assistants (I've even got one back from last year for a week). Somewhat worrisome and definitely a cause for prayer is that many of our crew is beginning to show our wear points even after a full weekend. I'd like to think I'm immune but I know I am not... Pray that we bounce well and that the remaining two weeks we are able to finish strong. (I get to be a counselor next week! I'm very looking forward to it!)

Morning feeding comes too soon... goodnight my friends.
