I have only ridden there for about 17 years, so maybe I missed something. Sorry for not knowing the indepth history of the park. I don't camp there much, too hard to get a shady spot. It is a beautiful park, and a great place to ride. I didn't mean to imply anything about the name, I honestly didn't know the story you describe, glad you told me!!

Glad you got in a ride! Your paint is gorgeous!!!
I love the coloring page option you posted! That's cool!
We weren't so lucky last night, my son's little mare went through the barbed wire fence, nasty leg today. It was a new fence (put up Sunday) and she apparently spooked with the loud thunder (another fun place to ride:-) and went through it. I have the vet coming later today.
We just live a little ways from Galva too, (Andover).
Thanks for posting the pics.
Happy Trails!!
