Alexandra and REF
I first started going to Road's End Farm Horsemanship camp at age 9. Naturally, I was excited about getting to ride and care for real live horses every day. Maybe I wasn't so excited with having to clean up after real live horses everyday, but it was part of the deal so I stayed quiet on that part.
The first experience of the camp I remember is yelling at my parents to wear snowpants when we visited in the winter to check the place out. They didn't believe me at the amount of snow there would be, so I was the only one who could walk around and tour the back fields of the camp to see the riding rings. There were two foals there when I first visited: two fillies named Valor and Vera.
Valor and Vera were about nine years old when I made the first Road's Endnotes.

Road's Endnotes
This comic idea was suggested to me in the summer of 2007, but was not realized at all until the summer of 2008. It was first published daily to the whole camp the entire last week of the 2008 REF season.
As it was my last year as at Road's End farm, as a Counselor In Training I engineered the few issues of this comic as a way to make a good-bye present to the camp. It was enjoyed by all of the staff and campers the last week of the '08 camp session, and I took them down from the barn notice board upon leaving the farm.
However, it was suggested to me by many people that I should publish these in either a fanbook for the farm or electronically on facebook, myspace, etc. As a result, Road's Endnotes gets it's own home on the web as a memorial and for REF Alumnai.
