Hey, glad to see so many close neighbors! Yes, I am just outside of Clearview and that picture was taken in a kind of scrubby growth area that has old gravel roads etc - my version of a "trail" for now. There is also a dirt track in that area that the kids do BMX on. When it is drier, that will be a great place for the mini-carts but it is still pretty slick and muddy. This picture was the first time Don was driven outside the arena, although I had ground driven him there.
Lord Hill park is hilly AND you have to cross long wooden bridges to cross a bog. I have ridden big horses there and it is a great place, but I don't know how it would work for mini driving. It is even hilliler then Pilchuck tree farm and the trails aren't as wide. I am not sure how wide the wooden bridge is, and there is no rail... it is more of a raised walkway.
What I was wondering about was the Centenial trail. The horse trail is a grassy trail to the side, off the pavement. You will encounter every spook you can imagine - baby strollers, roller bladers, yapping dogs etc, but it is flat and no major obstacles like long raised walkways. I rode my big horse there and he did fine with everything except the roller bladers bugged him.
Anyway, I would LOVE to meet up for a drive. I very much enjoy getting out of the arena and I have so much to learn that I would welcome the chance to meet up and drive.
Have you ever driven at Lord Hill Park?
