Scratching Perri from her chance at the Novice ring did not mean that my Sunday had to be sad. In fact, I dare say that I had a whole lot more fun up on top of the mountain on my beloved Appalachian Trail than I may have NQ'ing!
I chose to do a repeat hike of hiking south from the PA 873 trailhead on the Appalachian Trail, with excursions onto the "North Trail" and "South Trail" (aka, really really rocky trail.)

| As usual my good boy gets to be off leash while the bad girls stay tethered. |
 |
| Before long, we hit Rock. |
 |
| "Dog beds, bah!" |
 |
| Back to the woods... |
 |
| The dogs had a whole lot to say about this! |
 |
| Leaving the woods....almost back to the car. |
 |
| And back across the river! |
I don't think any photo can capture how absolutely stunning yesterday was. The weather was perfect, this hike offers a lot of interesting sights and physical challenge (hello, uphill!). As ever, there are
lots more photos on Flickr.
We did not escape unscathed - poor Ein had a limp when we got home. I thought it was his eight year old joints worn out from the long and rocky hike, but it was actually a skinned paw pad. My dogs have way too much trouble with that! It is definitely one of our more infuriating issues.
