And now for that hike I promised to post photos of...
We took Finn, Snickers, Sledge, and Hammer for a hike up the Greenhorn Trail last week. This was Sledge and Hammer's first time out. They cried at first, as babies tend to do when you pull them away from mommy, but they seemed to enjoy themselves and quieted down by the end. Finn and Snickers provided a good example of how packgoats should behave on the trail, although we had to teach a few lessons about not cutting past people. Finn was especially determined to get past me so he could follow Phil, so I swatted him in the nose with my hat every time he would try to sneak past. It was pretty effective, but not always, as you can see from this picture.
Phil with Finn and his boys. They sure do look a lot like their papa!
The little guys really liked this big rock.
Sledge discovered that the best part about hiking is the wide variety of delicious foliage.
Hammer eluded the camera for almost the entire hike. When I finally did get a shot, this is what he gave me:
