He was day three in the saddle before the trees started to thin out and the overhead sun could be felt through the filtering leaves. The trail jogged away from the creek and up a rocky slope where it opened onto a grassy knoll.
Rolling hills surrounded an endless meadow. The grass was lush green and horse belly deep.
Completely in awe of the vista that would become home, he stepped off his horse.
