Roughin' It

It feels like I am just now getting back into the swing of things after a 4 day camping trip up to the Laguna Mtns. This marked our pup's first camping trip, and man, did he have fun! We had to hold him down in the tent to keep him from running out to find a coyote that was yiping. Lot's of new sounds and wildlife for him to experience. We saw beautiful wildflowers, woodpeckers, blue jays, cardinals, rabbits, squirrels, and lizards. And we couldn't have asked for better weather--it was awesome. Nice and cool at night (about 45 degrees the first night), and warm and sunny during the days. Did some great hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail and enjoyed hanging with some good friends, Kristin and James, and their little girl MacKenzi.

It was so nice that we are planning a 4 day backpacking trip next week to one of the National Forests around the Southwest region. Check back for updates!
