Second place day

First open obedience leg, second place out of a big class. Reserve breed gun dog. 

Championship points at Maryland Sporting Dog

Had a nice time with a helpful judge.

Before the next storm

Many others had the same idea as we did Gathland to Harpers Ferry. Redid the joint C&O AT part, this time on foot.

GAK9 urban level 4

Boozie passed a mantrailing certification which very few have done.

Woody Gap to Cooper Gap

Easy but cold walk

Southern terminus to Coopers Gap

Got to try micro spikes. Fun day.

Yes it was cold but the pheasants were cackling.

In this weather you don't need to be a chunky English Lab, just desire.
