The Donation Button

 

Some have wondered why the donation button and where do the funds go...

A couple years ago when searching for my 'next' horse, I came across a small rescue. Nearly 70 horses had been abandon on this ladies property. 

Through a long detailed story ~ the horses were granted to her possession, for her to nurture and find homes for them. 

Stallions needed gelding, feet needed done, worming and shots. All cost money and many of the horses were from bad situations so they were hard to handle. Many volunteers and much work has been done.

There is about 25 horses left to home. . . they still need feet done regularly, shots and worming... On top of the hay which doubles in the winter. 

There is another horse rescue nearby that often needs funds for a surgery or to help rescue a horse headed to slaughter. Transportation from abandon homes to the 'rescue'...

When ever we get a donation, it goes somewhere it's needed. 

There may even be an occasion where an elder with a horse is in need of help with hay, or a vet bill.... when I get wind of something like this, if there's money in the bin, we do what we can.

You would be surprised by what a few bucks can do. . . even when only a few people help out. 

Now you know why we have a donation link set up with our paypal and a button up top with the pages.

God Bless and have an Amazing day!

Franklin WA ~ Ghost Towns

Find directions @ WTA

We took a minute on our way from home in Black Diamond to Enumclaw where the horses are, to detour to a small town, nearly forgotten.....

Franklin, The first Ghost Town on 

our new 2022 Adventure Tour. 

This is only part one. We have to return!
We have more to explore. We went up one of the trails to the right. Next time, we'll go left to the cemetery and mine shaft.




I have a feeling there was more hidden under the black berry bushes than the eye could see....

I found it fascinating how so many trees looked 'dead' as if they too died with the town...

Random bricks and bits of foundations...




We live in such a beautiful place, rich in history....

Bonus on the way home, we found a small unnamed cemetery off the side of the road..









A little fresh air and exercise is good for the soul as well as the body! I love the adventures.... stay tuned for more! 
Cause I gotta go back!

And I did! I made the hike up the hill to the Mine Shaft.
