2012 Adventure XVIII

Date of Adventure: Sun. 20 Aug 2012

Type of Adventure: Hike

Place of Adventure: Shrewsbury

Length of Adventure, miles: 1.5

Length of Adventure, hours: 2.75 hours

Companion(s): Colyn

Weather: Sunny, warm temps in 70s, very dry.

Other Adventurers Encountered: A group of 3 hikers with another large dog

Notes of Interest: 1. This is the adventure when Colyn tore his ACL. He was hiking along just fine, then suddenly sat down and laid down. We were almost 1 mile out when it happened, and it took us over an hour of limping to get back to the trail head. I tried to carry him, but I could only go about 20 feet at a time. Mostly, I just used his harness to help support his weight as much as possible. He was an angel while I was manhandling and carrying him. at 24 hours into the injury, he is already fed up with the confinement and I haven't even brought home the crate yet. I foresee very few adventures in our near future.
