Last weekend the dogs and I hiked 2 peaks. This was a much better and much more beautiful hike than Slide Mt. There were several rock walls that we climbed. I had to hoist Stanley over most of them. The picture above of the rock wall with JC was quite the doozey for the dogs. I was able to push Stanley up, but JC didn't fair so well. He tried to go up but only to flip backwards and land hard on his chest. I had to go up ahead of him, coax him to get a running start again, then grab his collar and pull him up. It worked.....but then we had to come down. JC refused. So I had to climb back up, grab him and pull him to the edge amidst MUCH resignation on his part. I got his front end down of the ledge, then quickly grabbed his waist as gravity pulled him over. We made it :). I had to strap Stan through the front of my backpack straps to get him down. The view at the top of Wittenberg was the best in the Catskills that I have seen so far. Hopefully, I can get in some more good hikes before winter hits!
