Riding Club Ends Season With Trail Ride
Fourteen members of the Ar
ctic Trails Riding Club participat
ed in a closing trail ride and
picnic on Saturday, October 2.
The ride was followed by a social
that evening.
The group trucked their horses
to the foothills of Lazy Mountain
where they mounted for the
climb. The trail at times was so
steep and slippery that riders had
to dismount and lead their horses,
members reported. In spite of the
hardships, seven of the 14 made
it to the uppermost peak of the
mountain. Onlookers from Palmer
who watched the progress of the
group through a telescope, report
ed seeing two mountain sheep
and a bear a short distance from
the riders.
Making the trip were Ernest
Bouicourt, Ed and Jimmy Hart
ner, Rolland and Beverly Grov
er, John and Lucille King, A1
Brooks, Roseann Branton, Jean
Grover, Sandy and Susie King,
Dan Aylward, and Elaine Bawe
by.
That evening club members
and their friends enjoyed a buffet
I supper and old fashioned square
dance, with Wesley Grover as cal
ler.
Mrs. Eva Yerman of Kenai is
a patient in Providence Hospital
in Anchorage recovering from a
broken leg. Mrs. Yerman has sev
eral friends in the Valley.
