Hiked Harp Mountain Trail with the Walkabouts today. Pam finally decided to go even though her dog is still out of commission with a broken foot. She was able to leave her home with help from a neighbor while we hiked. It wasn't the best day though because it was raining when I left home. But the clouds did lift somewhat and we didn't have any rain for the hike. But the clouds were still very low. It seemed like they were rising at the same speed we were climbing, but when we got to the summit ridge they decided to just hang out there so we never did get to see the amazing view possible from the top of Harp. It's a steep hike so I was glad to just stop and hang out in the fog and visit with everyone. Baby was happy to be out hiking again instead of watching me play with my log splitter and chain saw. There were three big dogs along with us and she got along pretty well with them. The youngest one kept leaping right over Baby so she did give out a few growls each time that happened. But otherwise she was quite sociable with the other dogs. It felt great to get out for a real hike since it has been a couple of weeks. The last few weeks have been mostly pouring rain and not conducive to playing outside. When it was dry outside, I was busy on the wood splitting project, which thankfully is now complete. Next Saturday is the Hatcher Pass Marathon and I'm hoping the forecast of 60% rain is not accurate. That might make that huge 26 mile climb more challenging that I would really like. But we shall see I guess.
