Desperation has set in, "You put the damn harness on, is it time to go!?"
April 24th - Spring time at Rattlesnake Point. This time of year attracts A LOT of people to the park - hikers, campers, groups and of course, climbers. Me, I wouldn't trust hanging off the edge of a jagged cliff being held by only a rope and a tree or rock. No, definitely not for me, I'll walk and take pictures instead of repelling thank you.
So, once again, the little dog and I took to the woods on what was a lovely spring day in late April. A lovely spring day with too many frolicking wild raccoons. Well, of course they'd be wild wouldn't they, and possibly rabid? Great. It's a little disconcerting to see these buggers (who I am definitely not a fan of) in the middle of the day, when there is lots of human activity going on nearby. Usually lots of human activity mean no wild animals, except squirrels, which are not to bright to begin with, and birds that couldn't care less how many people are around. If you can make out the one climbing the tree in the photos below, that guy was on the ground, about 20 feet away from us when we came upon him, and Brandy had a melt down. If you don't think dogs scream, you haven't met mine. I suppose she wanted to pick a fight, I mean, she is a Jack Russell and all, but she ended up scaring it up a tree instead, which is perfectly fine with me - I don't want that thing anywhere near me, they are nasty little critters. The little dog wasn't the least phased by it, and I guess she can be a nasty little critter too (good 'ole instincts).
Anyway, here are the results of our hike, on a nice sunny warm spring day, as opposed to the days we're having this weekend. Here's to good weather.
Too bad I didn't have my zoom lens with me, then you would have been able to see the look of disgust on his face as he eye-balled Brandy.
