If there’s one thing that’s definitely worth bug bites and pond scum in your underwear, it’s beating this summer desert heat. It’s officially hot out. After an unseasonably cool and awesome June, July has settled in like an unwanted relative coming to visit. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. It just keeps getting worse. So, what to do in times like this?… go play in the water, a lot. Considering the bulk of my recent posts have all been about playing in the water, it might surprise you how many creek and river trips (and assorted other water fun) I don’t actually post. But I am gonna post this one.
Last week, dog trainer Whitney and I took Haley, Rio, Chevy, Chase, Gabby, Desi, Sundance, Simone, Sarge, Sylvie and Major out on a hike. And when we got back near the cars, we detoured for some water fun in the same spot featured in the previous post. I once again stripped to my skivvies (we all know I don’t do pants) and joined the dogs in the water. I am now covered, ass included, in bug bites. Oh well…
Unfortunately, a few days later, two of Haley’s friends, Rio and Desi, went missing during a hike up on the Kaibab. I believe Rio has now been found, but Desi is still out there, so please send all your good vibes toward the Grand Canyon, and hopefully we’ll get her back soon.
