MLK Day

Don't wander carelessly off the trail here
I expected more people to be out on the mountain during this federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  JC, Shaque, Becca and I did run into a small family while we were headed back to the parking area.  JC managed to snag Shaque, who wanted to gallop ahead to greet the children.  Becca went a short distance off trail and lay down when I gave the command, "Down!"  Afterward Becca and I went to gas up the RAV4 and get a car wash.  Becca is never thrilled about riding through the car wash with me.


This is what you call "forging ahead."

I imagine that Becca freaks when you take her through the carwash! My animal companions would go crazy!

We had a Day of Service at my preserve for MLK Day; we had volunteers (about 15) help us remove invasive plants and ready an area for reforestation in the spring.

That sounds a very productive use of time and human energy, Scott.
