Lightning Backpacking on the PCT
At
15
months old, Lightning (BISS Am/Can Ch. Wolf River's Moonlight Ridge*) began to do serious
backpacking. We are shown here resting atop Hobart Bluff in the Cascade-Siskiyou
National Monument. Tranquil Hobart Lake is 680 feet below us. The town of
Ashland, city of Medford, and the Rogue Valley spread out beyond into the
distance.
Here
Linda & Lightning are pictured resting on a fallen tree along the Pacific
Crest Trail in southern Oregon. His loaded Reflector™
dog pack weighs over 12 pounds, which is ¼ of his bodyweight. We hiked five
miles on this outing, following a nearly seven mile hike on the previous day
(which was National Trails Day, June 2nd, 2001).
