We took a bike(cycle) ride along the Greenbrier River Trail and met a lady...

| Such a cool fence line on the old railroad bridge |
...we had previously seen on a horse with several other riders, now riding a bicycle.
She looked a bit frazzled and asked us if we had seen her covered wagons.
She had lost them.
We spent some time talking to her.
Making sure she wasn't suffering from some sort of heat stoke, or had had a fill from a secret flask that may have been hidden in one of her saddle bags.
She eventually decided to return to her riding companions and we assured her that if we found her lost wagons we would look for her on our journey back down the trail.
So on we went with a bit of a chuckle under our breaths and crossed the bridge to a scary black tunnel.
We got back on the bikes and ventured in a ways.
THEN...we heard it!
Clippity clack. Clankity clomp.
Turning quickly around and back out the tunnel, we waited.
And then they began to emerge.
Two covered wagons carrying all the provisions for a three day Equitrek.
And I do mean,
All the provisions.

Sounds like you had fun and thank goodness the covered wagons turned up after all.

Best "wake up smiling" ever . . .
That is a cool fence on the railroad bridge. And an interesting story, too.
LOL. That must have been a surprise.
That's hilarious! :-D
"I lost my wagons!" That too would have had my interest. What a strange looking fence. It must served some purpose.
Loved your fence, and the tunnel, etc. but the wagon story was just TOO MUCH! :-) She got the last laugh on you, that's for sure! :-)
lol that's a great post! poor thing, we all thought she was a bit kukoo!
How amazing! That is such a funny story...doesn't seem real! lol Have a great week! Hugs!
What a fun thing to happen...I love your last line I do mean all the provisions. I tell Roger sometimes that they need to put portapotties all along the highway...every 10 mile or so!
Great post! Loved the fence, photos, and the story!
