Canadian forest fires out west caused haze over the mountains of western Maine. I still felt energized by the mountains, the leftover snow, running water, and Bailey's strength in the climb. I had a sense when we arrived that we'd only make it half way up Lollapalooza, but the dog is a machine and motored his way up, grabbing mouthfuls of snow, running on some flat sections, and slurping from the streams running down the alpine trail. What an impressive climb for the oldster. On our way home, we stopped off at the home of Estelle and Ralph, the folks whose dog Maggie gave birth to Bailey and his sisters in May 2010. Always fun to see them and visit Bailey's first home. They liked hearing his stories... I suppose I told too many.
