Paws2Trail, We took yesterday off to decompress and celebrate Gypsy's long life with a hike at Banning State Park, a place we'd not had a chance to visit in a while.
While we miss Gypsy greatly, it is nice to return to hiking with one dog each, at a pace where we can all keep together...
A husky with wolfish markings, the same as the lead dog in the previous photo, leads the same hiker with floppy hat, field vest and hiking staff towards the viewer on a sandy dirty trail along the edge of a rocky slope. Sandstone cliffs rise above them with a dark, shadowy overhang over the trail and the rock above cut in wide curving arcs from ancient glacial activity. Several evergreen tree trunks have fallen at dramatic angles over the trail.
A fluffy husky leads the viewer down a steep slope between dark sandstone rocks, a narrow cleft that cures left, then right, the walls cut in sweeping arcs from glacial melt activity aeons ago.
Zeena, the same husky from the previous photo, stands on the edge of a dark river with a bit of foam at the edge. There are large rocks in the river, with one wide flat stone topped with spindly evergreen trees. The far shore has a mix of trees in various shades of green as spring foliage fills in.
