“I haven’t looked through the brochures yet, but I’m curious to see what’s offered.”
“We have hour-long trail rides every morning, along with other activities like hiking, fishing, hayrides, bonfires, camping trips, and even an overnight cattle drive. And if you just want to relax, there’s a pool at the Bur Oak Lodge.”
“That does sound like a great way to unwind,” Eden said with a smile.
“There’s also Dewey’s, a cowboy bar in Clifton that gets packed on weekends.”
“Can we go there?”
“Of course. You’re not a prisoner at the ranch; you can do whatever you want.” Willa smiled.
“I might have to check it out. Cammie would love it too; she’s from Wyoming originally.”
“She’d fit right in around here. Oh, and make sure to bring her into town and stop by the Clifton Diner. They have the best burgers around.”
After their shopping trip, they returned to the Bur Oak and went their separate ways. Eden was grateful for Willa showing her around town. She asked Willa to drop her off at the lodge so she could find Cammie. Eden had plans to relax by the pool, but first, she needed to figure out where it was.
As she walked into the lodge, Eden spotted a woman in a black uniform with a name tag and headed over to her.
“Hi,” Eden greeted.
“Hello, I’m Robin. How may I assist you?” thewoman replied.
“Can you tell me where the pool is?”
“It’s behind the lodge,” Robin pointed toward the back of the building.
“Do I have to walk through here to get to it?” Eden was not keen on parading through a restaurant in her bathing suit.
“No, ma’am. A gate at the back of the lodge leads directly to the pool.”
“Thank goodness. I didn’t want to make a spectacle of myself.”
Robin chuckled. “I wouldn’t either.”
“Thanks for your help, Robin. I’m going to change into my suit and take a dip in the pool.”
“Have a lovely day, ma’am.”
“Oh please, call me Eden. You too.”
As she returned to her cabin, Eden smiled at people she passed by and nodded in greeting. Once she arrived, she looked over to Cammie’s cabin and decided to visit her friend. She knocked on the door and waited.
“Hey, where did you disappear off to?” Cammie asked as she opened the door.
“Willa Callahan took me into town to buy some boots,” Eden explained, holding up her bag. “And I splurged on a hat too.” She placed it on her head and grinned.
Cammie let out a laugh. “That outfit suits you perfectly.”
“Do you want to grab dinner at the lodge later?”
“I’d love to, but I need to nap first. After showering and applying muscle salve, my body needs to rest before hopping on a horse again. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden one.”
“Riding really works your muscles.”
“I know. Did you sign up for the camping trip tomorrow?”
“Yes, it’s just an overnight trip.”
