hanging rock state park
so we had an amazing weekend at hanging rock state park, which is a great park about 2 hours from us. randy and nika joined us (with bali, of course), for nika's first real camping trip. i think it went just about as good as it could have, except for the bug attack on night one.
we took a 4.5 mile hike on the moore's wall trail, which was quite strenuous in places, but had some great views and beautiful scenery the whole way. then we made our way to the hanging rock trail, which is 1.5 miles to the top of the rock, then another 1.5 miles back down. again, ridiculously pretty views, and some very worn out dogs.
all in all, a wonderful start for the camping season... 
eno river
Jennifer & Owen came down last weekend, so we took a trip out to Eno River State Park. It's still not quite green out there, but we had a nice hike with those two, along two other friends of Jennifer's.
The Bruno backpack definitely helped drain the guy's energy. He carried both his and our water...
umstead park
we went for a quick hike this weekend in umstead park. it's a pretty nice state park halfway between durham and raleigh, so it's only a 15 minute drive to a trailhead. laura went with tracey last weekend and said it was pretty crazy (lots of people with dogs), but i guess we went early enough to only see a few people. of course bruno wanted to say hi to all the dogs, and now he's getting more vocal about it. and he was also pulling like a mule. i think he must have some alaskan husky in him -- you chain him up and he's just a pulling machine. at least our new leash has a bungee, and you can whip him right back to you (as in photo #2...
