| These guys are sooooo good! |
 |
| Oh ya, you can pet me some. I never get none of that. |
 |
| Hey! I know this family. You and me are regulars here. You can pull my tail too. |
 |
| Did you know I never get any touching? |
 |
| Ya kids, I love them. |
 |
| Oh ya, we've been up here before. It's a 2.7 mile hike to the top. |
 |
| Hey! I spied some friendly hikers as I cooled off in this creek |
 |
| Oh ya, you can pet me some. |
 |
| At the top, its all copper harbor conglomerate rock here. |
 |
| This is looking east. |
 |
| This is west. The breeze was blowing my ears back. |
 |
| We spied a down bound boat while up here. The means she's heading to the lower lakes. This is looking north. |
 |
| This is a closer view of the boat. Seems it's the barge-tug, Presque Isle. It's a 1000ft long, bulk carrier. More info about it can be found here. |
 |
| We head back down. |
 |
| Ya it's warm out today. Will winter be here soon? |
 |
| I'm sure they allow trail mutts here! |
 |
| At home that evening, the neighbors came by with their pup Daisy |
 |
| We wrestled, bit, growled, snapped and ran together. We had soooooo much fun. |
 |
| Those two were bummed they couldn't ride but I knew darn well we could go for a hike. |
 |
| Just down the road the North Country Trail crossed highway D. A very friendly FS employee was here and we chatted with him. |
 |
| We'd never been on this section before. A few miles in was a tower we'd hike in to see. |
 |
| This is an old fire tower on top of a rocky ridge. |
 |
| We got a kick out of this marking. This is near Grand View WI. |
 |
| It wasn't much of a view, but a nice spot to hike to just the same. |
 |
| Coming down the ridge, we spied some pretty flowers. |
 |
| It was HOT out today. |
 |
| We found quite a few trees across the trail. Maybe more than a dozen in the 2 miles we did to the tower. |
 |
| We're not sure what these white blazes mean. |
 |
| Oh good, a cool creek we passed by. |
 |
| Back to camp, Sandy's working on the KNSC news letter. |
 |
| Meanwhile, I stayed busy chasing this chipmunk. |
 |
| This is looking up the same tree. He did come down and I chased him! |
 |
| Tonight they made grilled vegetables with sausages. |
 |
| Hummmmm that looked good. |
 |
| And guess what happened the next morning? It rained again! So we went to a coffee shop in Cable WI. Oh ya, there was a bunch of friendly customers who'd stop by and scratch my ears. No-one ever does that! |
 |
| This is our favorite coffee shop in Cable - The Brick House. |
 |
| We spied a robin on top of a sign while there. No, we didn't get to run that much, but still had a nice time here. |
 |
| Trail mutts know when camp-n-ride gear is being loaded. |
 |
| We did stop at my favorite Lake Namakagon FS camp ground. |
 |
| It was warm that afternoon so we went to the Wilson Lake trail head. There are water spots along this section. |
 |
| Oh ya! Sandy got a few photos as I ran here. Of course they rode! |
 |
| Even with the low light, she still got a few good ones. |
 |
| We cross creeks. |
 |
| The water is brown with tannin. This was taken as they ride. How does she do that? |
 |
| I cross the same bridge. |
 |
| We stop for a cool dip at Pasty lake. Come on in, it's great! |
 |
| We head off again. You can see I'm wet. |
 |
| We stopped for several dips today. It was warm for a winter mutt like me. |
 |
| Back at camp, Arly gets in the new shower tent to clean up. |
 |
| The chipmunk hunting here it always good! |
 |
| Sandy gets a great dinner together. |
 |
| Hummmm salads. Seems that's all they are eat-n. |
 |
| Arly checks the pork chops. |
 |
| It sure smells good to me! |
 |
| It was great to be camping here again but a few mosquitoes were out. |
