Hidden trail more or less the standard way: ~8k. We took the dirty road both ways and used the middle land bridge on the way out, like before. Some stray was down in the bushes near the start of the dirty road again but I couldn't see it; our dogs were interested and barked a little but listened to me and didn't become aggressive. There were salt workers on the dirty road and everyone was good. Other than that we didn't run into anyone or anything else except birds, lizards and bugs. We took the intersection out east to the swimming hole instead of using the Au Soleil Couchant road. It is still deep enough to swim in despite not having had any rain for days. The 1.5 liter water bottle is a good idea when dogs like Bette, Floyd and Molly are along. Everyone behaved themselves and had a nice time.
