Beautiful Weekend

Awwww yeah. Fall is in the Air, and Winter is on her way. Loving it. Went for a nice long hike with Dixie on Saturday - 12 mile round trip. Made it to the top of Saddleback (via the AT) in 2 hours 20 minutes. Saw lots and lots of thru hikers and other hikers too. It was an epic weekend as far as weather goes, and with last weekend spent way down in Southern NH with a million people in disgusting humidity (all dressed up to boot) this was just the weekend I needed.

And yesterday we went for a big, fat climbing bike ride with Al and Barry. We rode 13 miles -- an hour and 40 minutes of actual "wheels turning" time (Barry has a 'puter for his bike) -- but spent about 3 hours out. It was a good workout and again the weather was AMAZING. Gawd.

Jack-Attack and his tongue. Clearly he went on the ride with us.

Get real. Get Maine.

I got some.
