    Dawn and I had the pleasure of meeting DaveGunter today at the Crawford notch for a day hike in the great white mountains. We summited both Jackson and Webster. His hounds were really fun to hike with and are, extremely well trained.

    What a nice way to end a fantastic day, sitting by a campfire, beer in hand, belly full of steak bomb, tent full of snoring Hounds, and seeing this thread.

    Was a pleasure to meet you both.

    LOVE the Spider Hound pic! I'm stealing that one!

    Awesome pics all around. Amazing views above the tree line. I really wish I was part of that today with you guys.

    Let's just say my pic of Silver Cascade was the "tourist" version right off 302. Cool to see up higher.

    we'll connect soon....... It was a great day. Did you happen to mount wheels on that WFO yet so you can bring it with? After a hike, heavy meals must follow! :drool:

    Spectacular, :thumbs: thank you for sharing. You know those hounds are among the best mannered hounds around. They get a lot of attention.

    I'd definitely pack some calzones and bring them.

    Great pics Dave. I hope the bears leave you all well enough alone tonight.
