The camping trip up to Mirror Lake turned out to be a lot of fun -- for the first day.We hiked, fished and the weather was gorgeous. Unfortunately, it came to an abrupt end and the rain started pouring on Saturday night. By mid-day on Sunday, we were ready to leave (very cold, wet and soggy and even the dogs didn't want to go out of the trailer). So, during one of the rare breaks in the weather, we hastily packed up and made our journey back home to dry everything out. (We really didn't want to be snowed in.)
Despite the bad weather, we did have a good time and the dogs wore themselves out playing in the river and hiking and, on Monday, I even got to go up to Soldier Hollow for the finals of the sheepdog trials.
The trials were incredible. I am in awe of the great skill that the handlers have with their dogs. These dogs were performing in very wild weather (pouring rain, hail, sun, more rain and then very warm), but almost all of them managed to complete the difficult course. What a great weekend!
