Ferdinand hanging out at base camp. Look how green everything is in the background. I'm not sure why Gavin has the car keys and money, but we barely stopped his getaway. Sure is GREEN up on Green Mountain. It's a bit more pleasant looking at the picture than in reality because of the onslaught of flies. Testing out the 10x optical zoom on the digital camera. Impressive! Sam and Ferdinand enjoy the rest stop. There's the summit. We didn't quite get there. Ferdinand goes off-piste and gets himself totally stuck in the underbrush. A couple minutes of scrambling later he's finally free. Here's one out of gas dog. Kathryn had to almost carry him down the hill from here. A Fine SundayBackyard Brunch
