Southern charcos: ~8k. We went in the usual way, took the road to no-man's land, came home via the swimming hole, the cut over and the dirty road. It was overcast and oppressive and everyone was out of their minds and crazy-fast. I had Rufus on the hook out of the gate but switched to Mega once we'd headed east into the monte because he's just too fast. I had Lily, Mega, Rufus and Chester on at various times, all for speeding. At one point out where the road to no-man's land hits the Y intersection that brings you back to the palapa road Chester took off north like a shot and ran down the branch of the Y that goes to no-man's land; I couldn't tell at the time but there was faint barking to be heard deep in the mangroves so there must be wild dogs out there. Chester got the hook for that escapade and Lily got the other end of it. The bugs are starting to make their presence felt especially way out there. Everyone was a little too wild and needed too much discipline so this wasn't a great combination but they all enjoyed it regardless.
