We arrived into Monterey late on Sunday night after the longest 3 hour flight ever – teeny tiny plane and not the most comfortable. Monterey is a funny little place with two distinct tourist areas – Cannery Row and Fishermans Wharf. We were only there for a day and half before we headed off to…

Day 3 of searching for cows had us looking for 157 of the little buggers that seem to be able to hide so well from all of us. We rode out from the ranch into the national forest again with a great group all on our trusty stead’s and headed to a few places that…

Two full days of finding cows and bringing them back down to the ranch from the forest and so far the tally is 181 (day 1) and 102 (day 2) – with a total of 157 cows still to find with only one more day of looking for cows to go. Day one we spent…

Back at Vista Verde Ranch!! This place truly is my nirvana – I just love it. Arrived here on Sunday and got to find out if we are getting to ride the horses we requested. I requested a new horse this time around. Felt like it was time to move on from Chalula – I…

Had an awesome time kayaking out to an island to see wild horses. With my irrational fear of sharks and whatever else my wild imagination tells me could be underneath the kayak, I was pretty nervous to begin with. But Beau (my guide) put me at ease pretty quick especially when I asked: “What’s underneath…

Enjoyed a great drive up the coast to Beaufort, North Carolina. It’s another beautiful seaside town and I am staying in a gorgeous BnB with two of the most gracious people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The drive direct from Wilmington to Beaufort is 2 hours and 6 mins (says google maps), well,…

When I was booking my accommodation through AirBnB, I found a great experience: ‘Beach Bike & Brews Afternoon Cruise’ around Wrightsville Beach. Wrightsville Beach is a gorgeous little beach town that is a 4 mile long island. It’s absolutely beautiful. So I met my tour guide, Brad, at a local pub on the island. It…

I headed off at 10am for a Brunch and Brews Tour and met another group of wonderful people. Our first stop, Wrightsville Beach Brewery, we enjoyed peanut butter pancakes for breakfast and my choice of beer was a raspberry sour beer. It was great. We also got a great tour of the brewing process. Next,…

I arrived into Wilmington, North Carolina, just time for a gorgeous sunset on Thursday night. This little riverside town is so much fun. My accomodation is a gorgeous little second story one bedroom apartment on the riverwalk. With the best sunset views right over the Cape Fear River and lots of fabulous restaurants and bars…
