...the best part of the day (I thought) was when the dog came home and passed out from exhaustion for the rest of the night. He rarely does that!
Below is a link to one of my hiking partners. Sami is a 12 year old cocker spaniel. She is a friend's pet and she always, “out hikes us.” Sami is standing on Algonquin’s Summit. After gaining the Summit from Heart Lake we hiked down the backside to Avalanche Pass. We had to carry Sami up a few of the ladders in “The Pass” but she did the rest by herself. Her owner claims the day before a hike he can’t talk about it with Sami because she will get so excited she can’t sleep at night.
I mention this because this past weekend a couple of my friends hiked up Lookout Mountain to check out the new trails. It looks like at least one of them will have a double fall line, sound familiar i.e. Upper Cloudspin.

There were a few people behind us with at least 6 Lab like dogs. They turned up the new expert trail, we headed up Blazers Bluff. They did some blasting on BB to get rid of the large rocks at the bottom. Yes the intermediate trail looks like it will have a double fall line at the top. Should be fun for the experienced skier but not so fun for the unsuspecting intermediate/ beginner skier. It looks like it's going to be a very steep trail. It would be a double black in the Pocono’s. We had 5 dog with us at the start. 4 turned back with the unadventurous part of our group.
