Hidden trail: ~8k. The saga with Zoot continues - he is really skittish about putting himself out there and coming along so he got left again. He's going to have to go on a few walks with Petey or something to get over this. Also, Zoot was acting like maybe he wasn't feeling well earlier in the morning and Roni thought his back legs were a little stiff like Peteys - he might have the same condition, so we'll have to get him checked out. Power and Chaos notwithstanding this was a really good group. I stuck them all in the launchpad before we left and there was no barking (from the ones in the launchpad). Molly left on the hook and once again I let her off as much as I thought prudent. We ran into a pair of firewood gatherers who took the unusual approach of using a small boat to go around the charco next to the alt. land bridge and grab all the loose firewood on the shore. They had a little (tribe-sized) dog with them on the shore who obviously wasn't fond of the water; my charges were all really good about running into them - they just said "hi" (bark bark) and kept moving along with me. I had Molly and Mega on the leash at the very end to keep the pace down. Everyone was good.
