1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction.

So last weekend, 6/26 I tried to take Sierra and Jack up Mt. Boreas, a "simple" 3 mile RT hike with less then 2k elevation gain, something easy for Sierra. It was one of those times the Universe sent me a ton of messages to stay home, and even at the trail head to turn around and i ignored everyone of them Sad
fireworks kept us up way to late sat night from neighbors
sierra did not eat breakfast
sierra had the runs at the trail head
my water bladder in my back pack leaked from the bottom of the hose and needs to be replaced
she fought me from the start of the trail
1/4 of the way up she puked
we made it to the ridge and point 12,720(our "summit" for the day)
there were 2 goats up there Jack wanted to eat
we made it so close to the summit but both dogs said no to the rocks
we turned around and went back to the car
got stuck in traffic trying to go home
my normal hiking for the mental break just caused mental frustration Sad
we did cover 3.1 miles RT and gained 1,357ft of elevation.
so if anything i did get some good pictures out of our day.
here are a few of them:

we made it over to that snow field, the high point behind that was going to be our summit. Just noticed you can see the 2 goats between Jack and the snow.

Been there.
Except with a child having nothing to do with the goal.
All you can do is roll with it.

How close do you let the dogs get to mt. goats?
I used to think they were harmless, but then that guy was killed by one in the Olympics.

thankfully i still had them leashed to me when we got on the ridge, or they both would have taken off for the goats. we got pretty close to them and they just kept running a head of us.

this was barely zoomed in, as we were headed to the snow field.

i have been on other busy peaks where the goats got really close to us and did not move. i do not trust them, they can kill you or the dogs.

Adventures come in many forms, good and bad, but they are still adventures. When looking at such good pictures you can't even tell from our end the day didn't go your way.

Can I just "Ditto" what Jenn said? You may not have gotten to where you wanted to go this time but that just leaves the challenge there for the next time.

And I agree, those are some fantastic pictures!!!
