Herd Night, Pokey Day

The herd at the Reunion Run at the Mahomet trail. I'm in the dark shirt in the middle. Best runner in the group is Cayenne the Wonder Dog.

Pokey at the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, during our backpack trip last August.

Great time last evening at the Mahomet trail as the herd was joined by a few "missing in action" bison. We had a good run, but it's not just about the running with this group. The socializing after the run makes it all good. The time-honored tradition at the trail continues.

Happy birthday, Pokey. My backpacking companion Pokey, aka Cassandra, turns 30 today. She's out in northern Arizona doing field research for her Ph.D. here at the University of Illinois; she will be doing this for the next five summers. With her schooling and teaching the rest of the year, I rarely see her any more.
