Nice easy day today with the Boy Wonder. We always wait for the road to close, so we can enjoy this hike in solitude and that's exactly what we got, had both peaks to ourselves. Ran into a long time facebook friend when we got back on Zealand road, nice to meet face to face, even though she yelled hey that's the Boy Wonder, I know I'm second fiddle, haha. Saw some pretty big fresh paw prints on North, never saw who left them, glad Shay is tied to me just in case, he isn't afraid of anything, don't need the trouble. #21 for his third round of the 52wav list. |
