Tuesday
Elewah*

It looked like maybe this was a bad idea before we left: they were incredibly wound up, and I knew I had to have Tuesday on the leash practically the whole way. Somehow, though, only 500m down the road or so they all settled down and it turned out to be a nice, long run on a cool, cloudy, windy morning. The road to the southern 3-way was too flooded to bother with, but we ended up going out to no-man's land anyway, and off-roading a bit to get around the worst of the flooding while out there. A red SUV was parked out in the middle of the road just before no-man's land, and there were three people in the boat out on that far charco, too far from us to see. Ernie did well in spite of it being the longest run he's been on for a while. Tuesday was only off the leash in no-man's land when we were punching a trail through the woods. We came home via the monte at the tortuga sign, since I didn't want to run into or deal with the cows on the beach (their pasture is completely flooded). Everyone behaved themselves. Elewah is still out as I write this, but it's going to storm so I expect her back soon.
