In April Crooked Creek Ranch played host to the first ladies driving day. It was a beautiful day and our guests arrived around 11 AM. After visiting for a few minutes a couple of guests felt it might be a good idea to introduce their donkeys to the covered bridge before hooking to cart. So once harnessed we headed out for our 4 mile drive. Surprisingly no one had any major issues with crossing the bridge or so we thought.
Our route took us alongside the picturesque Deshea Creek where our guests were able to see beautiful wild life. The route is mostly shady, making it cool for us and our donkeys. At the 1 mile mark we stopped for a couple minutes for everyone to get a drink from the cooler Brian had packed for us. Then off again til we reached the 2 mile mark making that our turn around spot. The ladies seemed to enjoy the 1929 cabin we passed along our way.
Once home Brian was waiting to take a picture of each lady as we came across the covered bridge to the house. Everyone made it through with no problems except Dena, Lightfoot was going to have nothing to do with the bridge this time. After a bit of coaxing he finally crossed (I’ll let him tell you all about that). We all unharnessed our donkeys and they were turned out in a pen where they found plenty of hay and fresh water.
With the donkeys taken care of it was time to feed our lady friends. Brian had been cooking since we left for our drive so everything was ready for us to dive right in. After we finished eating we had some time to do some visiting. Brian fixed frozen drinks for everyone to top off a great day. I think we would like to do this again sometime, we had a wonderful time.
