Tuesday 12 mile hike


On Monday afternoon, Nash and I decided we wanted to walk over to Blood Creek, which is 6 miles one way. So, we put some sandwiches and water in our packs, got two of our dogs, Cap and Sandy, and headed out first thing Tuesday morning. Of course we took rifles, I took Dad's Browning BL-22 and Nash toted my Remington 121. :) Here are a few pics.







We got to Blood Creek, and during the flooding we had during the spring, Blood Creek, which used to be a few puddles mostly, is now a nice sized little creek, with a waterfall. :)



We messed around at the creek for an hour and a half or so. Cap and Sandy were rooting around and then Cap started barking treed up a big cottonwood tree. Then Sandy joined in. We looked around and there were coon tracks and holes in the tree, so we've no doubt there was a coon up there.

Good boy! :)



After that, we packed up and headed for the house. Oh boy, 6 miles in 96 degrees!



All in all, we had a big ol' time! :)
