Cutting Switch-Backs

[HunterImagery]

HA! IdahoNancy cuts straight to the point! A picture worth a thousand words. I should sit back and shut up.

My cell booster blew down in a storm last week and I've been  having a heck of a time replying to this.  Both replies are good advice!  I separated my goats the other day and only took two of my boys out on a hike. They've never been separated from the rest and we're both nervous and perplexed.  Both of them immediately ran ahead of me and seemed afraid to end up in the rear.  What's funny is even though they were both in front of me and wouldn't let me catch up they both stayed perfectly in the trail.  The only times they would let me pass were the spots where the trail was hard to discern and they would both stop and wait for me so I could tell them which way to go and then they'd run ahead as soon as I'd show them.  I took it all as progress.
