Back From the Mountain

Haynes Canyon

Because Dr. K's knee was bothering her we didn't do a morning hike today; instead I took Willow and Frio (separately) around our property and into the adjacent forest.  Both of our Heelers had a chance to play with Coop, our nearest neighbor's Heeler.  Boy did they all have fun.

After I brought Frio back inside I went out to do a little exploring of an elk trail directly behind our cabin.  It looks like a good prospect for future explorations with the dogs.

After our morning outings Dr. K and I packed up and headed back down the mountain to our lower desert home.  It's always said to leave the high country.
