Hiking

Went on a long long hike today with Chewy, Wally and Beaver. It probably wasn't really that long but didn't start on the trail until about 3pm and then made it to the destination around 5:30pm. Yikes! It started to get dark. We decided to take the less steep but much longer trail out of the site. To my chagrin we ended up in the forest in the pitch black. Thank God I had a flashlight. So, we ended up hittin' the trail in the dark. About half way down the path, I stepped on something furry and LARGE. Being that it was dark and I damn near screamed to death...it ran off and I was able to continue. Overall, a good hike...shouldn't started earlier in the day though. Glad I made it out alive!
