Good Evening, Everyone,
I didn't have time to open Rusty's condo this morning because the climb of McKenzie started early. Also, I wasn't too happy to post the result of his fur shot yesterday evening! But it looks like he came down nicely and was green at least by +9. Edward watched him carefully and made sure that he ate his meals (this hot, humid weather is so hard on Rusty, with his beautiful long-haired coat, and he grazes gently when it's hot). Rusty was thrilled to see me when I got home this afternoon and spent some time sitting on the porch in my lap. We had a good shot this evening (and this morning).
I was--and am--exhausted from the climb today. The weather was hazy, hot and humid, although the thunderstorms didn't appear until we were almost down off the mountain (thank goodness!). The mountain was very steep with huge rocks and overhangs to get around, also some blow-downs from recent storms, mud that you wouldn't believe, and an army of blackflies at each of the 4(!) summits (mosquitoes in the woods, too). I kept hoping that the next summit would be THE summit, but to no avail. Finally we made it and ate lunch with the blackflies and headed down on a different trail--one that was not much used and that had so many blow-downs that we lost it at one point and had to backtrack. I'm really glad I got to climb this mountain, but I don't think I'll repeat the experience. Anyway, only 3 more mountains to go to win the "Saranac 6er" patch.
Please forgive me if I don't visit many condos tonight. I'm going to veg out for a while and will be back, briefly, later.
Hope all is well in LL,
Ella & Rusty
