North via the land bridge and cut-over, on the parallel access road to the Au Soleil Couchant road, east into the monte, south on the palapa road around the southern charcos and home the way we went out over the land bridge: ~9k. Rufus was a bear in the yard before we left until I muzzled him; this worked well and will have to be continued until I can get him to calm down by himself. On the muzzle he was still a little nuts trying to get it off at times but he was no longer loud and whipping the other dogs into a frenzy. Ziggy was also a loud pain in the ass on the way out and Roni and I were both tired of dealing with it so I left with the seven I had out; we'll have to try a muzzle on him next time as well. Once out they were all angels - Ziggy is as silent outside the fence as he is loud inside of it. We ran pretty quickly; the sky was strange and cloudy but it couldn't quite make up its mind, and the temperature went from brisk to hot and back again.
GRADE: B (getting out of the gate)
