Wonderful jaunt

Ready the dog and I headed up to Yreka yesterday for our long run...15 miles on the Humbug Trail, which is a lot of climb (four miles up to the summit), then a very short level section, then a lot of descent. Then we turned around and came back. The weather was completely awesome. The sky was very dark and forboding (in Arkansas, I would be worried about tornadoes), but as the hours went by, we were treated to everything from light sprinkles to warm sunshine to hefty winds on the ridges, and a beautiful rainbow. Almost all the snow is melted, there are pretty yellow flowers (the first of the year) bravely showing up on the warmer slopes, and we even disturbed a very noisy eagle. Then, we decided that we had to get a cheeseburger for our good effort. He got all the fries and half my burger.
Then we went home and slept the sleep of the REALLY tired.
