Tis the Season

It's hiking time for Kobae and though he's a lot of work he's funny and entertaining and I get to read a lot while I'm hiking with him. As Brandon takes over more of the workload at Base Camp and the season winds down I'm going to milk as many Kobae hikes as I can before it's time to take him to San Diego. On Friday we did a short hike down to the beach/river where he got in deep mud and I couldn't take anymore pictures because I was trying to save his life which happens about every fourth or fifth hike.

In the afternoon after a boot change he hiked down the driveway into the dead end canyon by #9 where I can't lift him by myself anymore to get him out and then he turned around and hiked back to the lodge.
