Woody leads us out of the woods

Ok, this blog will soon turn into a post ALL ABOUT PUPPIES.  But for now, while Ellie's belly is growing an inch a day, I'll tell you about our hike.  

Went into the National Forest, via the back acreage.  Took all 5 dogs, and we just followed some trails.  Non are marked there, so it's wise to keep your bearings.  My reference point is Elephant Butte, and now that I've been over in that area tramping around, I've found I can usually see it unless I'm deep in a gully.

We walked a jeep trail that was new to us, and I think it led over to Golden Willow.  There was a dirt road w/houses....  Turned back and took another trail.  But it cut off in the wilderness.  Followed Woody, who has proven to have an unerring sense of direction.  After climbing a pretty steep, rocky slope, over a lot of fallen trees, we got to our old path thru Aubrey Huff's land.  Whew!  Glad to head home after all that.
