4th of July in the Burro Mtns.

Fourth of July 07

The dogs had a full 4th. They started with a dip in the kiddie pool in the yard and then off to our favorite close hiking spot in the Burro mountains. It's a little forest road that winds around just below the continental divide trail. I often take them to this spot because my car can easily get there and frankly, it's a pretty easy terrain for hiking with usually no one else around.

The monsoons have finally started here and now there are nice little mud puddles for soaking in when the dogs get hot. There are lots of tall pines in this area and we've run into all sorts of critters here as well. The dogs and I had a great time on our morning jaunt before coming home for the usual illegal fireworks displays in the evening.
