Southern charcos: ~8k. We went across the land bridge and south first. Daisy, Rufus and Tori were so wound up and intent on rough-housing that Lily and Osita were both a little upset by it. Osita ended up ditching us before we crossed the land bridge and I didn't notice until we were on the other side... I knew she would just go home and it's a hard slog to get across so I kept going, with Daisy on the leash a few times and a lot of encouragement for Lily. Everyone's behavior evened out by the time we were heading into the deep monte and everyone was off the leash most of the way. I slipped and fell (a nice prat fall, complete with swearing on the way down) and this freaked Tuesday out a little so I ended up putting her on the leash just before we got to the palapa road proper. We took the bag end land bridge to the swimming hole and kept a pretty good pace the whole way. It was overcast and a bit cool so everyone was up for some serious running and swimming. I'll have to pay more attention the next time Osita comes, she's sensitive and hasn't done that in a while.
