A Day In The Life

Merely a reflection of a Saturday morning hike with the pooch. We didn't do one Friday because of jury duty so today's made up for it. Started at Ferndale. The first part of the jaunt was up to the Observatory.  Started out at 5:30am. Not dark but the June gloom overcast wasn't letting the sun shine.

Up the trail we go

Closer but is that a critter?

Almost there.

Put the leash on because we saw a park ranger. The 

top of Mt. Hollywood is our goal.

That peak in the distance. 

Some hydration for the hound

And we are off top of the second hill.

We take the steep shortcut for the cardio.

A group of 12 year old kids were being encouraged to run up this.

I tripped them.

Closer

Nearly there and what's the crap on my lens?!

Victory and a smile because she knows she gets a treat.

Ramona wants to take the other shortcut down.

So we do.

Takes us to the main trail back to the Observatory which is barely visible.

A nice long and winding trail to enjoy.

Notice the tongue. Still a ways to go. Me?  Sweating like a pig.

Meandering back down.

Civilization close by

Ferndale straight ahead.

Where to next?  Let's ride.

A nice 2 hour trek. Saw Councilman La Bonge who gave me an invitation to his swearing in on the 21st atop Mt. Hollywood. Don't ya love it!!! A swearing in people will have to hike to. I'm honored and will do everything I can to attend.

Otherwise it's a typical Saturday. Have run errands. Day is done.
