GENERAL
INFORMATION:
The Texas Trail Challenge, "Final Follies"
will be held at the C-Bar Ranch in Valley Mills
on November 13th. This 4th generation ranch
is located just outside of Waco, hopefully a
good central location for everyone. C-Bar offers
a variety of trails, from technical rocky to
sandy loam, with a variety of large trees, open
vistas and scenic watercrossings. I will avoid
most of the real technical trails, but it would
be worthwhile for anyone interested to stay
over Saturday night and further explore this
jewel of a ranch. Bring Neg Coggins
Trail will be approx 10 miles long and should
take approx 3 hour ride. Check in will begin
on Friday afternoon at 4, and begin again Saturday

and a ride-out time of 10:30.
