If anybody sees any photos of themselves that they would like in hi-res, let me know.
Steve Bradley finished adding all four days of his photos to his site as well. He got several good shots of myself on both Chief and Bo which are also included in the albums above. Check out: stevebradleyphotography.com
This is the first full multiday that I have been able to do since I got sick and would like to thank everybody for help and support – especially my husband Dave and my dad plus my friends that rode with me and helped out in so many other ways. Thanks! 
I’ll finish up a full ride report for my blog in the next couple of days.
I also wrote up a review of the Renegade hoof boots that I used all four days of the ride. A link to it can be found on the hoof boot page. In the photos, Chief is wearing orange and red boots and Bo is wearing the burgundy blitz color. Chief is the fleabitten grey shown trotting in the hoof boot review and Bo is the bay in the photo here showing off his party hat .

I will also add them to the Sunrise Ranch website. There is always so much to get done after a ride! Karen
Dear Karen: The original set of hyperlinks worked fine for me. (You asked for feedback.)
Congratulations on achieving the 22,000 mile threshhold for AERC. You are closing in on some national AERC records, at this fast pace. Everyone is proud of you.
About one hundred Tevis riders were at the Tevis Christmas dinner & dance held Saturday evening, December 12th, at the Elks Lodge in Auburn, California. So we were not able to attend the Death Valley Encounter ride which was held simultaneously.
Merry Christmas to you and your husband, and also to Granite Chief and Bo.
