Booker's first mountain

 We made it through our first night nice and dry.  Booker woke up and started whining in the middle of the night - it was pitch dark and since he was in unfamiliar surroundings he was understandably nervous.  I called his name and he immediately went back to sleep.

Today we headed right out to climb a mountain.  Blue Mountain was only about 20 minutes away.

This proved to be a challenging hike.  Due to last night's rain it was muddy and slippery and involved some serious climbing.  This is a popular mountain, so Booker stayed on leash, but since Sisko has 100% reliable recall, I tied his leash into his backpack loops and I actually found he was great at showing me the best way up.

We made it to the top but neither dog was terribly impressed - even with the view!

After some snacks and a good roll around it was time to make our way back down.

Tonight it was again a cold evening but without rain and wind so we had a campfire.  I thought for sure Booker would have some sort of reaction to a roaring fire but nope - he curled up on the bed and acted like this was no big deal!
