EAGLE ON NEST CONFIRMED

It is 7:54 and 33.5 degrees out. Patrick is asleep with Junior in his bedroom. Houseguest and cats are asleep in guest bedroom. ImpromPtu BAGO waterfall Tour was an unqualified success. Full report to come. Here's one of my forum posts:

Just got up from my nap. The BAGO Impromptu Great Waterfall Tour was a blast. Attending were me, Patrick, jtbrady, Floating spots, S Keillan, Random Find (Four plus Cheyenne the African Cattle Dog) and led by Team Shydog. We crossed paths with USAF#1 and Baby 627.

The highlight of the hike for me was how well Patrick obeyed me each and every time I told him to back off from sniffing Cheyenne the African Cattle Dog's butt. But I guess the 800th time I had to tell him was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was seated on a log at the time. I saw red, and, leaped up, Lunged at him, hiking staff in hand, to stick it up his little white dog tookus and see how he liked it. I didn't get even one step before a HUGE vine grabbed me by my ankles, pulling me violently backward and WHAM I fell flat on my face in the mud. Once more the wily little canine escaped my wrath.

The only other casualty of the day that I know of was when Kelly slipped and fell off the limestone cliff, into the ravine by the Twin Waterfalls. We could hear his screaming getting fainter as he freefell down down down until we could hear him no more. None of us could bear to walk over and look down.

"That's gonna leave a mark" was the innappropriate remark I heard from someone in the crowd, the little curly headed girl, I think.

So we waited for about ten minutes, then sadly headed back up the trail. But the beautiful blue sky, the twittering of the birds and the fluttering of the butterflies soon had us in a gay mood once more.

Besides, unless he broke a leg, I'm sure he could crawl back up...maybe.

After all, he is a
