Nice group. It was a misty, foggy morning, the remnants of which were still clinging to the ground when we left. It made the first few kms of the run strange and beautiful... we could see spider's webs and bird's nests outlined everywhere around us, and the cows took on a surreal and fantastic air. We probably ran between 8-9km, mainly a southern route designed to avoid xmul. By the time we hit the southern land bridge most of the fog had burned off. The monte is drying out more each day, but there are still places you simply cannot go any way but on foot. Everyone was good and had a good time. Monkey and Molly especially like running together. At the very end Molly got a little too enthused over the cows, who were right there at the shrimpery intersection; still, she broke it off and came back to me reasonably quickly.
