Rainy Antoine run

Just a quick run to get is all outside in the fresh summer air.

Hike to Bench Lakes

This was a good hike to the nearest of the Bench Lakes. The lake was windy and cold when we arrived (2 hour hike with those slow two-legged's). Still a little snow around the lake too. 

After we returned, we checked into our cabin. I liked it. No mice at this one. 

Hike to Hell Roaring Lake

This morning Stanley was thick with fog. So the family hung around the cabin a while. I wasn't sure what the plan was so I just made sure I wouldn't get left behind!

Here's the cabin view after the dog burned off. 

Today's hike in the Sawtooth mountains was to Hell Roaring Lake. It was a great hike. Less whining from my sisters. 

This is me sitting on a floating log where we had lunch at Hell Roaring Lake. 

This is the rock we found to take a nap on in the warm sun. 

This is the drive back to the cabin. 

This is me sacked out after the hike. 

Last day in Sawtooths

Runnermom tried to get me up early. I burrowed under the bed and refused to get up. I was still on Pacific time after all!! 

My sisters weren't overly spunky either as you can see. 

This is the view from the cabin once I got my dog butt out of bed. 

We played at Alturas Lake. It was beautiful. Best of all the had a doggy beach with no other dogs but me (just the way I like things). 

Here's a video of me at the beach. 

My flight home

I was happy to be heading home. Going through that crazy airport security and laying down in my flight bag is stressful. But I was ready to get back to Rosco Twiggy and my Pa. 

Running Saltese

It's been a while since we ran here in the early am. The flowers are different from early spring. It felt good to get out and move! And at Saltese you always have to run fast to outrun the ticks!

Spring hike at Antoine

We caught a few minutes after the deluge to romp and play at Antoine today. 

Antoine on Ice'

Hoping for a nice trail run. Did some trail ice skating instead. 

Another great winter run

Today was another great run at the mountain.  I did flip out a bit at a group of scarey 20-something female snowshoers.  RunnerMom had to come pick me up because there was NO WAY I was running past that creepy group.  Here are a couple pics of my more rational moments on the run.

Great day to get out of the fog and gloom of the valley below. Fog makes me shake.

Blue skies-awesome winter run!

RunnerMom and I left the gloomy foggy 23 degree valley for blue skies and 38 degrees at the mountain. We covered 5.5 miles with 1200 feet elevation gain. It was great fun. I ran so super fast today!

Snowshoe running

  The 2 legged type wore snowshoes. But my splotched dog feet work under all conditions!! 

Sodium replenishment!

Brrrrrr

When I saw Runnermom putting on her running gear this morning I thought "Wow it's gonna be a cold one, my wee froze to my tinkler this morning when I went out!"  I wonder if a sign that says "seasonal" means "stay home when it's in the teens bozos!"

This is the temp when we started out. It warmed to a balmy 16 by the time we finished. 

Runnermom put hand warmers inside secret pockets in my Ruffwear coat. And wrapped my dew claws, as always on the trail. But we had an awesome 6 mile run today.

We're not the best "trackers" but these look mildly familiar.
