Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hiking with a Dog: Silver Lake Empty

Alright, so this weekend we went for a little hike up American Fork Canyon. We left the house around 9:45-10:00. Made a pit stop at my brothers house to get my sunglasses I had forgotten over there. Then we stopped by REI and bought Sydnie a new Camelback, and a pit stop at the grocery store for a few things. 1.5 hours later of not even leaving a 20 minute radius of our house Appa's excitement had turned into pure boredom.

We did finally make it to the trail at 12:30. He was much happier now.

Just heading up the trail, the weather was absolutely perfect.

There were a few streams we crossed, once again turning Appa's carried water into nothing more than weight on his back.

Towards the top looking back behind us, where we'd come from. Fall has a stranglehold on the leaves right now. I love it.

Annnnd the destination: There was snow, and a biting cold wind. Sydnie took some pictures, Appa played in the snow. I'll post a little of video of Appa in the snow later. (click for a larger panoramic)

And for comparison - this was only last month in the same spot

All in all it was a great trip, except the fact that hunting season just started and some hunters drug a dead deer right past us. Appa was freaking out, I had to hold him off the ground by his harness. He was sniffing out and licking up all the blood spots along the trail for awhile. He eventually found a piece of deer that must have broken off as they drug it down. He ate it. I was not about to grab it out of his mouth. Luckily it passed through without a hiccup or upset.

Love the aspen leaves.
I'll bet you got your HOTM pix there.

This is my favorite time of the year to hike, except for the hunters.
I'm pretty careful about going where they aren't.
I hope. Still it makes me nervous when I hear shots.
A hiker was killed outside of a state park here last weekend by a bear hunter.

I am thinking about getting Bodhi a blaze orange vest.

Great pictures! I think safty orange for human and dog is the best idea. I had thought of that when we were hiking whale peak and the whole camp site was hunters.

Thanks! It was a fun time. We were actually discussing sewing him something orange to put over his backpack. And getting some orange for us as well.
