A group built for speed and endurance, we blazed a new trail today... at least new to us. We went north, out to the long and winding road (subject of 28.10.10), but instead of taking it all the way to doce I paid close attention to find the turn back south, which ends up connecting to the northern charcos. The intersection is overgrown, but this time I found it and it worked out exactly as planned; there's only one sloggy patch, perhaps 50m, and a few dodgy bits directly west of the road to playa maya. Other than that, the whole way was high and dry, albeit insanely overgrown for stretches. There are some beautiful little places on that route, and the dogs loved running around out there; yet another route for the must-go-with-Roni tour. Everyone was good, and although Elewah didn't come back in with everyone else, she only screwed around for 15m and then came in of her own accord (she still is titular Queen of the Monte, so I guess she has to check in on things). Not a very long run, but a really nice one.
