Hungarian Falls romp in the spring sun!

With the temps zooming upwards, my pack thought we should hike up to these gorgeous falls.

I've not gotten out much lately!

We start on an old RR grade.

Looking south on this trestle, we can see Torch Lake.

Looking down, this is Dover creek.

Next we went west to find an old trail up to the top.

I can really go here!

We turned up off the RR grade to go up the hill.
It's hot for a winter dog!

I'll show her the way.

No problem for a water dog!

Ya rolling in the snow is the best!  You should try it.

This was a very scary creek crossing.

Sandy's nervous but with all-paw drive, I'm not.

The falls are still hiding behind the ice and snow here.

Oliver came along. He hung out for a while.
Arly's nephew Levi sent him here to visit us.

Now we went into the gorge to see a trail
we'd not been on in many years.

This is such a pretty creek.

Back out, we stopped to see on old RR trestle foundation.

Oliver wanted to see the old trestle too.  I wish Levi was here!

Lots of friendly people were out to see the falls today.

 

I don't often get out to be social you know.

Some trails opened up just for me!

Ya!  

We heard Swedetown trails had discontinued grooming, which opened those trails up for trail mutts.   Granted not dogs in general, but certainly trail mutts!

I'm ready and need to run!

We head out on the BC trail.

Bounding was unencumbered here today.

This is great and I'm so fast, I'm just a blot on the horizon.

Ya, but I don't get too far out.
Conservative dogs like me don't stray far.

Mark thinks he needs more wax,
while paws are working just fine.

We take a rest at the warming shack.

Romping here makes me giddy.

When I don't get out much, then I'm really,  really ready to go.

Hunting was great today!

I heard the pack say Back Country conditions
were as good as they can get.

We peered down into the Farmer's Well.
I didn't get too close.

On our way back.

We had such a nice romp today.

A Mud Lake route.

Oh ya, it snowed this week and I heard my pack say "the dog really needs to get out".   What does that mean?   We got out Saturday morning.

Finally! On Saturday morning, we romped at Maasto.

Tomasi Rd. had just enough snow for good gliding,
but was low enough for good bounding.

The crust was excellent, thanks to below zero temps the
past few nights.

On the Vista Trail.

Hunting was good. I smelled a mouse.

Spring is springing on Sidewinder Hill.

Next we headed over to see the Mud Lake loop.

Folks have been skiing here!

Just enough snow.

Hey! I spy a gray squirrel.

Maybe I can shake him out of the tree,
and down into my mouth.

It started getting hot. 40 is too warm for a winter dog.

Now we headed into Churning Rapids.

Snow is still great.

So is hunting.

Now down towards my favorite Swedetown Creek.

Whew! I think it's getting hotter.

 

The water level has come down with the cold nights.

As I was om top hunting and
the snow rolled down.

We relaxed by the babbling creek for a bit.

Then we headed up the Pine Loop bypass.

Be sure you get out before it's all gone!
