The Caja del Rio trailride on Saturday, June 16th, was a wonderful day – and ride. We met at the Headquarters Well at 9 am and drove the remaining 5 miles on FR 24 to the 1100 Well. Eight riders made the 8-mile loop up Ortiz Mountain trail, down to the 700 Well, and back to the 1100. We walked, trotted, and loped along a jeep trail, seeing gorgeous views. This ride was an appetizer for the Caja Endurance and Fun Ride on August 18. Donations to the Caja Trail Fund are most welcome. If so moved, make checks out to the "AERC Trails (Caja Project)" and mail to the AERC (American Endurance Ride Conference), PO Box 6027, Auburn, CA 95603.
