The weather continues to cooperate with the outdoor line-up of activities. Las Trampas is a Regional Wilderness, located just west of Danville, CA. Easy to access, and beautiful to experience, Las Trampas is only one of the amazingly undeveloped tracts of land separating the pockets of population. The ostrich live on a farm just south of the park entrance we used.
The hills are steep in places, but in general this was quite a nice walk. Bryan's house-mates went along with us... including Oscar, Anna, and the newest canine, a foster dog named Jake.
Here you can see Oscar sporting his new "wet suit", fabricated from a black trash bag. Why, oh why were we dressing him up for a doggie fashion show? Oscar had explored a little too far on his own during the hike, finding a nice fresh patch of cow poop that he just HAD to roll around in... ewughhhhhh... Anyway, because we all rode together in one vehicle (yes, that's right, three dogs, two men and three women in a Subaru station wagon) it was imperative, yes IMPERATIVE that we get Oscar as clean as possible. He didn't like the cold shower, and he seemed slightly humiliated in being dressed in black plastic, but he handled it like a man and remained cooperative though slightly sullen. He got a nice oatmeal bath when we got home and is none-the-worse-for-the-wear :)
It was nice to be outside and feel the sunshine & fresh air.
