Annual Hike To Schweitzer Falls






Okay, so by "annual" I mean "we've done this hike twice in the fall." And by "hike to Schweitzer Falls" I mean "meander a half mile in the direction of Schweitzer Falls and back over the course of several hours." But regardless, we always have the best time -- kids, parents, dogs. There's a creek that becomes Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, there are big leaf maples that shed their leaves for a autumal feel, and there are boulders to climb galore. And seriously, the kids were super troopers hiking up the cardio hill back to where the car was parked. In fact, they were super troopers the whole way.

Jed (World's Finest Canine) 1995-2008





Tennis balls -- for me?!?

Fearless rescuer of the maiden captured by Mexican wrestlers...
Jed was the life of the party.
and was always ready for a hug
He loved going on adventures like traipsing around Yellowstone
Jed loved playing in the snow
but not as much as he loved playing in the water!

Jed's backpacking grand finale...

In the High Sierras, September 2006: Elad, Ophir, Keegan and Jed hiked up to 11,000 feet for Jed's last wilderness adventure.
