What A Week!
I wonder if Doug Phillips imagined just how much time the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt would take. The hunt ends on Tuesday for which my family will be very thankful.

He hasn’t rode much. For some reason, the horse came to a stop from a trot right in the middle of the road (we think it’s because he was laying on the horses head). The boy went flying over its head and hit hard. …
