Wiebels Lembecks

We first headed North from the club and then East. We went into the horse pasture but didn’t stay long and next thing we know a coyote had come out and circled behind us. Gene had viewed. Eleanor headed back to the west and we went down the hill and crossed the creek. Hounds were headed for Lembecks which is a place only she is allowed to go. She jumped the big coop into Weibels. A few of us on greener horses decided not to follow, including our field master. Only Sarah and Lauren jumped the coop and went on. We went on down to the gap into Lembecks and listened there for a while. We then started to head back and heard on the radio that she was somewhere on cornerstone road. So we headed out the back entrance onto Welsch road and headed down Welch road. We got to Cornerstone road and Eleanor came from the East with very few hounds. She headed west blowing her horn and a guy with a pickup came by and said that the hounds were about 2 miles east of us in his driveway. So Eleanor and some of the whips headed that way. We headed in from there.
