Another gem of a tale 3Pinners. Cool adventure. Plus you got to close the loop and meet the Dirty Dog(s).

That was a tough one to wait out. Great report as usual. Thanks for sharing.

That Diego is a bad dude. Here he is letting Donna know that he will lean into her even more if she doesn't keep petting:

It was great meeting the ski3pins and the weekend was quite the grand adventure despite the extreme weather! Ski's writeup is excellent and covers it all so I'll just add some of my photos from the trip.

Finally a break in the weather - Ophir

The last day of our trip was really amazing. The weather couldn't be any better for a Memorial Day at the Austin cemetery - truly a beautiful scene.

Did insurance ever reimburse Donna for her prosthetic hand? Still sorry about all that......

Great write up ski !! Glad you were able to meet the Dog's. They are a little rough at first but soften up quickly.

All, thanks for the kind comments. DD great photo in the Austin cemetery. This was our third Memorial Day to travel through Austin. We have been impressed with the care and effort that the local folks put into readying the cemetery for Memorial Day. Glad you took the time to stop!
