May 9th adventures to Daly Canyon & Lost Prospector

Aloha, It feels like summer in May....Crazy!! We are experiencing a heat wave and it feels good for now. Daly still has water, nothing compared to 2011, but we are grateful for the dry trails and fun spring conditions. Town loop to King road over to grave digger and back down through Root Cellar and finishing on the Trappers gate trail. Nice loop dudes!! Our second hike was fast and fun on the Gamble Oak trail up the power line steep climb onto Masonic and back on the Lost Prospector trail to the truck. Great day before my trip to Oregon and Washington which was amazing!! Peace. Schwaby

Aloha, Beautiful day on the Solamere loop/Gap trail, where we ran into Sasha's and Josie's mama and they had no idea it was her so we moved right along and almost ran into her again a few minutes later but we sneeked away and all was good. Our Second hike of the day was up Iron canyon that was nice but muddy in the usual spot about 25 minutes up so we turned around, sat in the Aspens for awhile then had a leisurely stroll down. What a great day... Peace. Schwaby

April 7th adventures

Todays route-Sweeneys-South Sweeney's-420-Johns-Flat Cable trail.

Aloha, Daly, Daly Daly.....It never gets old and we see more moose there than anywhere else and always a different route to travel. You gotta love it babe!! We have yet to tire of this incredible place. Plenty of snow still but not for long, and we will be riding high very soon. Peace...Schwaby

May 3rd adventure

Aloha, Mormon Flats is a place to go when you need water and there was plenty of it today. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not flooded and the hike was quite scenic, green and a flowing stream the whole way. The beavers have been busy!! There seems to be more ponds this year and the upper trail past mile marker 2 was full of water in sections, the scouts will be busy and I hope to see more bridges built because this place seems to change every spring and always needs a lot of work. Lots of water makes for happy dogs!! Life is good. Schwaby

May 2nd adventure

Aloha, Roxy and Dryfus have become close buddies and we always have fun and cool outings. Today was no exception, hiking on the dry trails of Solamere which seems to be the theme so far this year, was spring like and wonderful. We need a good long summer after a winter like that wouldn't you agree? Peace. Michael

May 1st porcupine adventure and Round Valley adventures

Aloha, Porcupines....they sure are cute and can cause a nosey dog some real discomfort. Unfortunately little miss Josie was on the losing end of one of these guys up on the guard road. I may have cursed myself chasing down another cute little guy after he crossed the road earlier that day, I just wanted to get a picture of his face!! His cousin made me pay and Josie got the worst of it. I only had pics of the critters because this happened half way through the hike. Lesson learned? I hope Josie learned, she had a bunch of quills and we ended up at the vet to get the ones in her mouth out after I pulled all 20+ from her snout. They are out there folks so keep your dogs close and teach them good recall so this doesn't happen to you. Round Valley for our second hike was nice and quiet with this lazy moose having no worries about the dogs, these guys I really don't worry about and are always a welcome sight. Round valley is very dry and awesome to hike and bike so get out there and play!! Live Strong. Michael

April 30th adventure

Aloha, Daly Canyon is always a good way to kick off the week and it was super nice with some dry trails big patches of snow and a beautiful sunny day. We started out on the Ontario bypass road and made a big loop on the Empire link trail to Johns 99 down the power line road to the creek to cool off and back up Tour de Suds. All good dogs and a great day!! Peace. Schwaby
