Pass It On
I am 53 years old. Today I rode with my Grandson around the same farm that my Grandmother rode around as a child.
Aidan told me that riding in the woods was "better than Christmas".
Tickled me...I walked him to the corner on Nick, and we start3d out scared and off balance...100 feet into it we were worried about the animal doing something weird...200 feet found a dead garter snake...fear...gone. then we discussed how when you r8de and you want to go back, you always push on to the next bend..5hen you see something new every time, and pretty soon, you don't feel lime going back...that idea seemed fine with him...so when we got to the corner, he wanted to go check out grandpa's goose neck stock trailer...and his faithful bracero/sherpa/burro groom was admonished to watch out for snakes...
