Watson the Westie

 Watson comes home at 9 weeks old. He'd rather climb on top of his kennel than sleep in it.

Apparently Susan's phone also works as a pillow. Or maybe he was expecting a call.

 He loves dragging his rat around, and making sure it's still dead.

 Meeting Uncle Max at 11 weeks old.

 First play date with his new friend Molly at 12 weeks.

 After many hours of playing they learned to relax.

 His first hike, he was a great explorer dog, stayed right beside us the whole time.

 Watson at 16 weeks, starting to look more Westie like.

His happy face, Susan made it home at lunch to feed him.

Ribbon Lake Hike

All clean, all ready, but perhaps not expecting to be hiking most of the next 3-4 hours in the dark.

Our first night campground.

 

Ya baby

A break before attempting the cliff.

 

Not only cute, but she's an amazing climber too.

 

Destination #2, home for the next 2 nights.

Shade break after the climb.

Off on our day hike...which ended up with us on the top of a mountain.

 

 A view of Ribbon Lake, and the valley of our ascent.

 

 More to climb.

 

Cresting the mountain to view the other side made it all worth it.

Are you able to spot Susan?

"For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made."

How long have these mountains been here?

Mount Kidd South Peaks that Evelyn and I were on.

Post hike ho-down back at the ranch.

Ready for the hike down.

Creek rest area on the way down.

According to other reports, and the sign at the Falls, the km markings on this sign are incorrect. It is actually 11km to the Falls from Ribbon Creek parking lot.
