To the beach at Au Soleil Couchant: ~6k. We took the slightly shorter route but nobody seemed to mind. Maggie, Alice and George kept up well, especially considering that everyone else on this run is fast; the faster dogs just ran around and played more as there were plenty of large puddles and ponds to jump in. Everyone enjoyed the swimming hole. We left with everyone off the leash and stayed that way until the turn onto the coco trail on the way home, when I put Frankie on just to make sure she didn't run ahead in the final stretch. I forgot that Twigs is the one who needs the leash near the end and had to go get her on the beach after she finished checking out the construction site to the north; still, no harm, no foul and she was an angel on the run.

Blue
Monkey

Roni took this crew around the cow pasture the long way, effectively; down the coco trail, straight down to the charcos and around to the alt. land bridge, then back the way she came (same distance either way at that point). The bugs were bad when the breeze stopped and it was strangely hot and hazy at the same time. Lucy obviously had a blast jumping in the ponds, as did Monkey. Blue is an angel and Roni only had to threaten Miles with being picked up a couple times to get him to move a little quicker. She put Monkey on the leash near the end - an outrage according to Monkey, but she forgot all about it by the time they got to the gate. Everyone looked happy.
