| Dog-Related Notes: |
Isis had a great day. There was one other dog out there who also looked like he was having a good day. He and his owner didn't stop... I landed in a snow bank because of this... He just kept going. Ehh, it takes all kinds of people. Still a great day for Isis to get to 24 Winter peaks! |

All trails are in great shape and it was a quick loop today because of the weather. This was the kind of day you just put your head down and go. No views to see so, Isis and I enjoyed the trail conditions and made a good day of it. It was elongated for the ride home but the day on the trails was wonderful. We made it back to the car just in time for a down pour. Nice to see everyone out there... Even shirtless wonder boy... Seriously. It's not that warm out! |
