Sometimes plans change

On Saturday, we headed out to Shenandoah for our winter cabining tradition. We had the Pocosin cabin in the Central District rented for two nights. We arrived late Saturday afternoon. Skyline Drive was open so we had a short (0.2 mile) hike into the cabin. Alex and I romped around the cabin while the humans got water and wood. Ahhhh, the freedom of being leashless. Alex and I also cornered a creepy looking opossum in a tree.

We woke up Sunday morning to wind (>20mph), rain, and fog. I was looking forward to a long hike to South River Falls. Unfortunately, the humans are a bit on the wimpy side and decided that we couldn't stay. Something about wet wood. Alex and I did some more romping before heading out. On our way out, we ran into the park ranger, she told us it was going to get worse and it was probably a good idea to go home.

Here's a picture of me ready to head out. I'm nice, so I carry all the food for me and Alex. Actually, it's because Alex won't move if he has the backpack on.



Here I am headed out for a romp. Notice how yucky it is.

There's a few more photos here, including the reason we left.
