Kolo With Clapton

To Charlotte We Go

Me & Kolo heading for Charlotte to see her eye doctor. Looking forward to all of the Spring colors as we drive off the mountains... We made our usual Landrum, SC stop and the temperatures were sizzling already.

Charlotte Waiting Room

Kolo wants to play with every dog in this waiting room. She whimpers. Looks at me with those eyes.

They kept us waiting a long time. Dr. Pate was behind, way behind.

Here's a good triceps workout: Holding Kolo back with leash from playing with all the dogs in waiting room for 1.5 hours. #NoGymNeededToday

Ice Cream

Biltmore Park

Nothing beats a healthy doggy ice cream treat on a Spring Day.

Hiking, Warm Out

On the parkway near Bent Creek again with Kolo today. We hiked for about an hour. It was a bit overcast, but warm out. Steady climb up. She did great. We had a good workout and she was a delight.

Bent Creek

We are hiking again. Steven is really anxious to get into better shape and Kolo certainly enjoys the exercise. Man and his dog. It is very endearing to behold and be a part of.

I am having a creative time with my camera. So, it is win-win-win all around. I just need more time to be able to do it all... and warmer weather.

Shut In Trail

So we are back to the Shut-In Trail. Rediscovering the beauty of this great Blue Ridge Parkway trek that we did years ago. Steven wants to get us able to do the Bent Creek-to Mount Pisgah haul in a day. OK... That'll be 16.3 miles with 3000 feet of vertical climbing...

At this moment, I think Kolo is the most prepared to attain this goal.

French Broad Dog Park

Snow on the ground, cold, but sunny, we had the French Broad River Park virtually to ourselves. Kolo loved it. She is beautiful. And we are happy.
