Thought I'd clear a little space today, ready for my Thanksgiving meal, by going for a hike !
However as is normal on Bank holidays the weather was terrible !!!!

The thing I like about this time of year is that the colours seem a lot more vivid.....

The rocks were real slippy but that didn't seem to bother my Mutt !!!

I usually stop for a drink where I have a view but the weather was so bad I opted for a place with a little cover....

I poured some tea and broke out the Oreo's !
I didn't have my shutter speed set quick enough for when my dog actually spotted the Oreo.....

This little masterpiece is the new neck rig that Eric ( Normark ) has made and sent for pitdog Jr, what with the bad weather and pit Jr's soccer training though we have not had chance to post pics of him with it so I thought I'd take it out !!!

Very nice. Planning on hiking the overgrown local trail tomorrow, nothing as impressive as your hiking area though (river, farm land, some trees, lots of thistles). Weather looks to be warm (28C) and perhaps a bit wet.
 
Awesome pics and always! Kinda reminds me of my last backpacking trip. . .

A wet hike in Hoosier National

Your pooch sure does love her Oreos! I cracked up when I read that caption and then scrolled down to the other picture!

Happy Thanksgiving! I need to come up and visit next year so I han have one Thanksgiving feast in October and a second one in November. Then Christmas and New years. . . Hmmm on second thought, maybe that's a bad idea. I don't think my belt adjusts big enough to let me add another month onto the holiday season! :eek: :D ;)
 
Nice pictures as always! By the way that is one cool sheath rig Eric made!
 
I would love to spend time in that beautiful place, your pics are always amazing, looks like totally unspoiled wilderness!!!
 
Because the weather here is wet but still quite mild I just wore a wicking shirt and a fleece to hike up in. When I stopped I put on my windproof smock and kept that on when I hiked back down. I was pretty wet when I had done but was never cold !!!
 
It was about 14C today, and he wasn't kidding about the rain- cats and dogs all over the place. Sure turned out nice this afternoon though didn't it?
Great photos Pitdog!
 
Awesome pictures! And your dog seems like a great companion.

What's that yellow/green slime thing on the trees?

LOL ! They are Madrona or Arbutus tree's and that is their natural colouring......no slime !!!
 
Interesting, I've never seen that before. Born and raised in San Jose, California.

Are they at least slimy feeling? Hahah!

Here are the nicest pictures I have of the area I live in, this is near Santa Cruz, and my typical ride whenever I'm free from work and school, and girlfriend =]
