Little wahoo for CJ

Just heard that CJ was #2 NOFCA ( open field coursing) Borzoi for 2008-2009 season and also the high point novice dog too. Py was #4 NOFCA Borzoi for the 2008-2009 season and like CJ already has points and placements just needs takes ( the hardest part of course) CJ is shown below in his blue blanket at a field trial. His "official name" is FC Avalon WNS Rising Sun SC, FCH and he lives in TX and is coowned with my good friend Sherita Tabner of Rosehill Windhounds (you'll find a link to her site to the right somewhere) In the red blanket below is "Py" owned by Leonore Abordo of NM, his "official name" is BIF FC Avalon Victorian Pyre SC, RA, FCH, GRC, ThD, CGC and there is a link to his owners website (Chile Agility and Oxota Borzoi ) also somewhere to the right.

Burgess Falls State Park, Putnam Co. TN

A couple of weeks ago my friend and hiking partner in crime Archie went to Burgess Falls State Park, I had not been in many years ( was a college hangout) and had forgotten how lovely all the falls are. Upon returning from the trip I then lost my camera . More accurately I forgot where the ^@!! I put it. However, I knew it was here and finally found it so without further ado here are the photos. Here's first myself and then Archie standing underneath some huge stone base for an old mill that was on the river. Then there is this panoramic view of the middle falls that are around 80 feet high here. Now to the left here are the big falls 136 feet high and the canyon wall rises on the left more than a hundred more feet, it is a spectacular view. Here's another view of the biggest falls (lower falls) It was a great little hike just around 2.5 miles round trip, pretty easy except for the climb down to the bottom of the lower falls, wet, slick, water spray etc and cold because of the wet. I think we are going to do this one again this summer when getting misty cool water on you is much more pleasant. Anyway don't miss this if you are in the area of Putnam or White County, TN, it is well worth the time to check it out.
