Old business

1. The club inventory will be kept at Potato Richardson's. Joe Larkin has a completed list.

2. Vests: Doyle has 6 vests and Tracy owes us two more. Call him at 823-5896 if you are interested.

3. 3. Pt. Reyes campout was a big success. Three days of great riding, wonderful weather, and a big 60th birthday
for Cindy Larkin. Accordion playing by Diane Johnson. Singing by the campfire with a beautiful solo of "Rocky Mountain High"
by Karin Occhialini. There were a few "adventures" A huge tree fell near camp creating a very big noise narrowly missing Joe Larkin
and spooking all the horses. Dave Smith came off his horse near camp and had to be taken to the hospital. Fortunately he is fine but
with many scrapes and bruises.

our trail route next year due to extensive logging in the area by Sierra Pacific.
