I insist on stopping every time we go past Tiburon, CA next to Sausalito on the way south to San Fran. I can't afford to live there, so the imaginary house in my mind is built there instead. Taking the kids to their orientation gave me another excuse to visit Blackie's meadow. http://www.blackiethehorse.com/blackie.htm
What a beautiful place and wonderful story about the horse ... he had quite the life. Beautiful photo of the new "students," Dixie ... that trip sounded like a great adventure. Hope that all goes well for both you and them.
