Alice
George
Gowron
Monkey
Twiggy
Luna
Linda
Hazel
(8)

Terreno federal road: ~6k (approx, have to look). Today was the first day my heel hadn't hurt in a week so a group that doesn't go very far was necessary. We left heading north as though we were going to the swimming hole but I wasn't sure where to take us because of all the salt workers in the charcos right now. As we got to the parallel road a couple of trucks passed us and Linda got separated; she was on the rough little road that runs parallel there and a little freaked out. I tried to get her to come over but she would have none of it so I turned the rest of us around to go fetch her; at this point Hazel was already on the leash and being a good girl. I quickly realized that Linda was more freaked out than I thought and was in fact bolting for home down the road to the cut-over; I picked up speed to run her down and it became a foot-race down that overgrown road. Twigs and Luna helpfully charged off ahead and slowed her down and when I finally caught up (almost to the cut-over) she had calmed down and started responding to me again. I decided to go for an in-between route to avoid more vehicles: east through the intersection then immediately south along the periphery of the charcos just north of the terreno federal road. We went all the way south and came out on the main road, turned back north and came home across the land bridge. Everyone was good once we caught Linda and calmed her down.

morning walk:
Zasu
Miles
Henry
Lucy
Tito
Blue
Osita
Frijolita
(8)

Roni took this crew out for a walk in the monte. They went down to the shore of the charco just northeast of the dirty road. Frijolita ran ahead a bit too much on the way home because she saw that little black and white stray but she didn't catch up to her and there were no shenanigans.
GRADE: A

morning beta-site patrol:
Zasu
Tito
Godzilla
Blue
Eve
(5)

Roni took these down to survey the beta site; I came shortly thereafter and everyone at home seemed like they were good while we were gone. Eve appears to have the same religion as Miles and really did not want to set foot inside the fence but Roni prevailed and all was well. I came home first with 'Zilla, Eve and Blue and Roni came a few minutes later with Zasu and Tito.
