Yes, but it can be dangerous. I was going to mention Catherine the Great of Russia learning this the hard way. But About.com says that's a myth, that she died in bed of illness.

Heya,

I voted for "park touring", hayride and of course re-enactments (how could I not vote for that one... in this case I'm mostly picturing BBM charades!  :D ).

What exactly would "park touring" entail?  I've never been to Colorado, so seeing the sights sounds good to me.  Hiking and photography would be fun too.  I could imagine combining those two into "park touring."  The hayride dinner sounds great.

I will want to pet the horses, but not ride them.  I do actually know how to ride a horse, but it's an activity that makes me nervous.  I do like horses though.

Can't wait!!!  Whoo-eee!!!

Front-Ranger:
Yes, I'm a low-startle-point horseback rider myself. Any horse that I saddle immediately wants to run off at a gallop!! (That also accounts for most of the stallions I've saddled in my life too LOL!)

Park touring would be driving around in Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the first areas to be named a national park, destination of millions of visitors throughout the world each year, and home of the highest paved road in America!

Front-Ranger:
Friends, Brokies, and BBQers! We are now firming up the slate of activities for Sunday at the BBQ in Estes Park, Colorado! We are trying NOT to overmanage this, just to facilitate. The main thing is to make available a place to assemble, a way to get any equipment needed, and a person to be the point person to organize these activities. If you'd like to be such a point person, please PM me!! I'm planning to head up park tours in the morning, and a photo hike in the afternoon. As far as scene reenactments and BBM-related contests and such go, I'm toying with the idea of having those in the late afternoon just before departing on our dinner hayride, oand/or during the hayride itself. Let us know your thoughts!

Well, hi,

I'm only a very new Bettermoster (registered for the chat, normally on DC Forum) -- but since I'll be there on Sunday, I'll be interested in Scrabble if you have it going.  I'm one of those older indoor types. 

I voted for miniature golf, too, but I hope ability doesn't count -- it's been years -- decades!
