Hiking Fools

Two beautiful days and two days of hiking.  Wednesday afternoon was drop-dead gorgeous and Eric, the hounds and I wandered out to the Boy Scout Camp.  The fish were jumping.  Lots of seagulls and ducks around...must have been some sort of feed although it was not obvious what was on their menu.

Yesterday was even better weather-wise and we trouped up to Granite Creek Basin - one of my favourite hikes.  Quite a few fellow retirees on the trail...most accompanied by hounds.  Everyone smiling.  Everyone in a good mood.

There were still a few patches of snow in the basin and the hounds went nuts...you would think they had never seen the white stuff before.  Chasing each other around.  Rolling in the snow.  Quite humorous.

Walking through Granite Creek Basin...looked-up one of the snow slide gulches...and here comes a guy and his dog! 

Eric's hounds found the snow very invigorating

The doggies flushed a couple of ptarmigan - the only wildlife we saw...

Well, time to head over to the elders...Friday is bath day for the ol' coot.  And both mom's and auntie's yards need mowing today.

Have a great weekend everyone!
