I wanted to keep it to three pictures per post, but since I make the rules, I can break them. And what better reason to break a rule than a bright orange salamander on a cold gray day.
The second picture is Wesley getting ready for his first (or his first with us, anyway) hike and campout on the Appalachian Trail. Just out of the car, sitting in a rain-wet parking lot, getting ready to go. When we left our driveway the temperature was 87º. The temperature dropped a little when we got on I-64W, and a little east of Charlottesville I could see a rain squall ahead. I watched the clock and I watched my car thermometer and it went from 85º to 67º - a drop of 18º - in twelve minutes. When we parked in the mountains - 90 miles from our house and an hour and a half later, it was 62º. Fortunately it stopped raining.
The third picture is Wesley and Ivory and Nicky on the trail (notice who's moving and who's standing still).
And the final picture from the first day of our hike is Ivory and Wesley encountering some new sights and smells.
More to come from tomorrow.
