Lauky went up and down Caps Ridge at least four times before we moved from the area. He never had any problems either going up or down. I always carry his booties in my pack but have never had to put them on him. I never took Lauky up Huntington Ravine, but did do it with my Airedale Duffy...

The sign in that picture is actually located at the entrance to Rock City, GA, but it has appeared in many different places and has an interesting background. This article points it out pretty well. http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/mysterious-case-park-poet

I can personally vouch for the Pemi Cabins near Lincoln. I stayed there once with my wife and Lauky. It was rustic and very nice. I still get birthday greetings from them. http://www.pemicabins.com/

This is very true. Over the years Lauky has let me know many times that we were being observed from the woods and in some cases even followed for a while. There have been times I have had to restrain him from going after whatever it was. Sometimes I wish I had his sense of smell, although in...

While we never encountered hogs up in NE, Lauky and I have had a couple of encounters down here while hiking the very remote Benton-Mackaye trail in TN. One encounter was very close but we managed to stay hidden until they grazed off. We recently met a couple of guys on the Bartram trail who...

A new patch is being prepared for all Canine Winter 48 finishers. When the patch arrives a picture will be posted here. The patch will be sent free to all finishers. If anyone who has not yet been contacted will contact me I will send you the necessary info for obtaining the patch.

I had occasional problems with Meniere's disease that would hit unexpectedly over a ten year period from the mid 80s to mid 90s then just as suddenly disappeared. I haven't had any recurrence in the last 20 years. As mentioned above, the symptoms could come from something more serious and...

When it comes to the Pemi loop I would say that it's impressive not only for her, which it most certainly is, but also for you. Congratulations to both of you.

Impressive, no question about it.

It's now official, we had three canine finishers yesterday on three adjacent peaks: Adams, Jefferson and Washington. Congratulations to Harley, Thor and Dusty. Here is the new list. Because of the near simultaneous finish of the three dogs I'm not sure of the exact order if it matters. We...

Again, congratulations. We would love to have a picture or pictures of Harley. They don't necessarily have to be from Adams. You could either post them here: http://www.vftt.org/forums/search.php?searchid=1200796 or Email them to me at [email protected].

Congratulations and yes, if Harley finished yesterday please post it here along with a picture if possible so we can get him on the Canine winter 48 finishers list. Dusty and Thor finished yesterday. This would definitely be a first if three dogs finished on the same day.

Here's the list to date, still waiting on Thor. Brutus Jan. 18, 2004 Feb. 22(?), 2007 Denali Feb. 25, 2007 Marley March 16, 2009 Pepper Jan. 29, 2011 Ella Feb. 16, 2011 Romeo March 15, 2011 Izzy-Israel March 16, 2011 Lauky February 16, 2012 Cinilla March 7, 2012 Quinn March 10, 2012 Kali Feb...

Congratulations to Dusty and Thor. As far as I know Dusty is the smallest dog to complete the 48 winter. It would have been interesting to have gotten a picture of Dusty and Brutus together. I'll update the list as soon as I hear from Dave and Thor.
