There are some step overs on the Willey Range trail but really no big deal. |

Brutus and Wesley were having a blast and were very well behaved. My own dog is now sniffing my pants and preparing to spray paint the front of my house because I touched TWO other dogs. The trails are in fine shape for doggos. |

Not a one today. I think the cooler temps had them hiding in Hell again. |

This was my fourth pivot for the day. I could not make up my mind where I wanted to go but this was a solid choice. The Avalon trail has plenty of water and mud down low. A-Z was in nice shape and the rocks were dry which made for faster travel. The Willey Range trail was surprisingly dry as well. The bog bridges were wet so I walked carefully on those. Honestly, the trails were excellent today. And I only saw 10 people all day so things were quiet. It was lovely to bump into fellow gridiot, Lauren and her friend Kristen who is working on her spring 48. And I got to pet their dogs so my little heart is happy. I got back to my car 10 minutes before the rain started. Woo hoo! |
