Re: post up your camping pics
 

like i said, beautiful day, not to hot
Attachment 2102613

stopped at the swamp
Attachment 2102614Attachment 2102615Attachment 2102616

this is where it got interesting. both dawgs fell off the log twice. wish my cam had faster speed between pics- missed some funny as hay puppy moments, although i did get one vid of Rumbledawg doing a header off the log
balancing puppies...
Attachment 2102617

Re: post up your camping pics
 

still balancing....
Attachment 2102620

and bam! Roxie knocked Rumble off the log
Attachment 2102621

now Rotts is pointing in the wrong direction, and the water is about 10 ft deep..
Attachment 2102622

just a hair too soon with the pic. Roxie tried to step off onto a small floater and it dumped her.
Attachment 2102623

she then managed to pull herself up on to a bigger log. but it's to far from shore so she has to come back the same way
Attachment 2102624

Re: post up your camping pics
 

somehow she jumped off the floater so quick she made it back to the big one...
Attachment 2102628Attachment 2102629

...however, something caught her eye...again just a tad too quick, going for another splashdown...
Attachment 2102631

now Rumbledawg is going to her, you can see her swimming back to the log...
Attachment 2102632

Re: post up your camping pics
 

and of course Rumbledawg just had to see what Rotts was into...a micro-second before he went in...the two of them were like Laurel and Hardy, in a span of about 5 or 6 mins they both took the plunge twice..
Attachment 2102633

after enuff falling we hiked up the creek to the top of the hill.
almost walked right pass this
Attachment 2102634

upon closer inspection, not quite sure what they were building-shelter or a stand. and Rumble has to get into every pic, look in the middle
Attachment 2102636Attachment 2102635

and near the top
Attachment 2102637

Re: post up your camping pics
 

meanwhile back at the canal the beaver is still at work on his log
Attachment 2102638

the grass has gotten taller too, taller than Rumble. Rotts you have to carefully look for moving grass to see where she is, Rumble leaps around like a deer, he keeps jumping up so he can see where he is going...again, some funny as hay vid of him prancing threw the grass
Attachment 2102639Attachment 2102640

check out the vibrant color on these ducks...
Attachment 2102641

Rumble jumped in and put them to flight, but i got kinda a cool pic of him taking off. just wish the bird wasn't so blurry
Attachment 2102642

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Beautiful country and some gorgeous pics. The dogs should of slept pretty good that night.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

i wish Dale, the 2 of them are a mile a minute...
with the heat wave we had, the canal and tributary rivers are coming up with the snow melt. can still see the handrail at the canal
Attachment 2113705Attachment 2113706

Rumble jumping up to see whats on the other side of the grass
Attachment 2113707

took the mutts to a little creek, Rumble really likes laying in water...weird
Attachment 2113708

and using the creek as a bidet...
Attachment 2113709

Re: post up your camping pics
 

tug of war wit a stick
Attachment 2113710Attachment 2113711Attachment 2113712

meanwhile Roxie is digging a hole to sit in...
Attachment 2113713Attachment 2113714

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Roxie usually has good balance...
Attachment 2113717

but on this day she fell into a 3 ft hole, luclily she landed on a rock where i could reach her and pull her out, cause the hole went down another 3-4 ft..
Attachment 2113718Attachment 2113719

took the crew down to the canal....this is a place where a long wheelbase comes in handy...
Attachment 2113720Attachment 2113721

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Attachment 2113722Attachment 2113723Attachment 2113724

this puddle was 'bout twice the length of the crew, and almost to the top of the tires
Attachment 2113725Attachment 2113726

Re: post up your camping pics
 

even though this riding area is one of the best in BC, we hardly ever go there cause it's always a gong show. but wife's sister talked us into going there one weekend.
Attachment 2113727Attachment 2113728Attachment 2113729

actually i think my sil wanted to show off the used cargo trailer she bought, for a give-away price. 18 footer for $1500, only thing wrong was the leg was busted- big whoop, would love to get a smoking deal like that for our quads...def. jealous...
Attachment 2113730Attachment 2113731

Re: post up your camping pics
 

these does wandered into the staging area. cause it's a riding area- no discharging firearms anywhere around here, and these does seem to know that. i got closer to them than anyone else
Attachment 2113732Attachment 2113733Attachment 2113734

this place has every kind of terrain, from kids to begineer to pro to total banzai.
i only got a couple pics cause wife would not follow me and the boy and she was packing the cam, but keep reading, we made another trip there yesterday and hit the banzai trails
Attachment 2113735Attachment 2113736

Re: post up your camping pics
 

the boy blasting thru a creek
Attachment 2113737Attachment 2113738Attachment 2113739

got the machines a little muddy. yesterday i had the cam and will show some wicked trails
Attachment 2113740Attachment 2113741

Re: post up your camping pics
 

at the canal again, this is where i drove the crew down a few days earlier- gone, under water now
Attachment 2113742

and you can see just the top of the handrail now (it went higher still)
Attachment 2113743Attachment 2113744

dawgs at the river
Attachment 2113745Attachment 2113746

Re: post up your camping pics
 

this floater goin' down the river was just too tempting for Rumble...
Attachment 2113747Attachment 2113748Attachment 2113749Attachment 2113750Attachment 2113751

Re: post up your camping pics
 

took me 40 mins to get these rocks balanced for a pic and took Rumbledawg 2 seconds to come knock them over...
Attachment 2113752

took the mutts to the trail of 7 ponds. 'bout a 5-6 mile hike in to some of the best natural fish rearing ponds around here
heading in
Attachment 2113753Attachment 2113754Attachment 2113755Attachment 2113756

Re: post up your camping pics
 

trail is not very used, and no water anywhere for the dawgs to drink up
Attachment 2113757Attachment 2113758Attachment 2113759Attachment 2113760

Rotts sure was happy to find this little mud puddle for a drink
Attachment 2113761

Re: post up your camping pics
 

then Rumble kicked her out and moved in..
Attachment 2113764Attachment 2113765

and here he goes again wit this laying in water thing again..
Attachment 2113766

and fish pond no 1
Attachment 2113767

Rumble yarding some lumber out of it
Attachment 2113768

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Rotts wandered out onto this log, but it started sinking, thought for sure she was going for a splashdown, but she made it back before she went in
Attachment 2113769Attachment 2113770

and another fish pond
Attachment 2113775

the water was crystal clear, it's actually about 8-10 ft deep, but you can see right to the bottom. clear enuff to see mankinds mess....
Attachment 2113772

depressing seeing this krap in a pristine area...
Attachment 2113774

Re: post up your camping pics
 

another pond
Attachment 2113778

haft to cross a lot of logs
Attachment 2113781Attachment 2113776

another log we got to cross ....
Attachment 2113782

...to get to another pond
Attachment 2113777

Re: post up your camping pics
 

another pond
Attachment 2113783

3 logs to cross just to get over a little creek...lookin back should have just walked thru the creek. skinny log first
Attachment 2113784Attachment 2113788

Attachment 2113789

and then over this one
Attachment 2113790

Re: post up your camping pics
 

another pond
Attachment 2113798Attachment 2113791

came across this nicely resto'd boat tail on my way home
Attachment 2113793

and at the canal. has become a fav place for the mutts, they really enjoy coming down here and cooling off in this heat. getting further and further back from the pump house, water is still slowly rising
Attachment 2113796Attachment 2113794

Re: post up your camping pics
 

in an effort to try not fry when i take the dawgs out, took them out at night a few times (11pm - 3am)
in the mountains with zero background light, my cam don't take good nite shots...mutts really enjoyed going out after dark though
Attachment 2113804Attachment 2113805Attachment 2113806Attachment 2113807Attachment 2113808
