Sunday. Social distancing. After a mandatory visit to McCall's beloved Pet Outfitters for chow (and then a good dose of hand cleaner), we were ready to head out. The pups knew what to do. |
 |
Ruby has done this hike many times, so was showing off. |
 |
I expected some snow. We got it. But it was negotiable. |
 |
I wasn't really expecting flowies. But we did get some. This for Julie. To quote Walt Kelly: Spring is sprung. |
 |
Nick Peak. I can never get enough. |
 |
More Ruby posing. Looking muscular. And wise. |
 |
Craig posing. Looking muscular. And wise. And then we were down at the car trying to figure out where to park for Snowdon Rock to create the least nuisance. I wish others went though this exercise. We said Hi to a guy who was parked, but then had to tell him not to approach our vehicle. How do you say "Stay away" while maintaining friendly communications? |
 |
And then we were on our way up. Cool ice. So nice of someone (us, last January) to cut out the downfall. |
 |
Spring. Stable snow pack. But you should still be aware of your surroundings. |
 |
We did a better-than-average job of navigating the treed north-facing hillside. |
 |
And then it was all tanning opportunity. |
 |
| A little practice taking the snowshoes on and off. |  |
| Some dog wrassling. |  |
| Almost there. |  |
| Summit shot with authorized social distance. |  |
| We'll just have a bite to eat of these here sticks. |  |
And then a different way down. Loop is good. Spring is good. Having Craig for next-door neighbor is good. Stay well, friends! |
