In which we burn energy that would normally be used for riding
"It's a beautiful day, let's saddle up and hit the trails....not."

| If there ever was a ready horse, it's this one |
There's been no change to the EHV-1 situation...which is good. No new cases, no new euthanasias (that we know of). This is one of those times when no news is good news--if things had gotten worse over the holiday weekend, there would have been an update from the state veterinarian and there isn't one.
So we're still self-quarantining and glad to have horses safe and healthy.
But.

| New Year's Day sunshine! |
It's so hard to stay home when the sky isn't throwing cold wet stuff down. So, we didn't.
 |
| Santa Jim should have packed candy canes for the trip--we met lots of children who recognize him! |
Megan invited Jim and me to join her and Anne (human) and Lucy (dog) on a walk up the Wallace Falls trail on New Year's Day.
 |
| excellent trail companions! |
Off we went, into the sunshine.

| Henry didn't come with us on this trip, but his mom showed us the back of the trail sign where he has made a hashmark for every time he's hiked this trail. Total = 28 |
 |
| We don't have many "free days" for WA State Parks, but when we do, the trails are crowded. Today was no exception! |
It was a perfect day to walk this trail.
 |
| Hanging out with Santa is always a good idea |
 |
| Sunny but not warm--high temp on the trail was about 38* |
We dressed in layers and dropped most of them for the uphill hike to the Middle Falls.
 |
| To see water fall, you gotta go uphill |
 |

Coming back downhill, Jim read all the informational signs
...and I took photos of sunshine.
