Now that we are SIP at the cabin, we made a list of "Fun To Be Had"! On that list was a trip to the Sonora Farmer's market and a hike on the Tuolumne Canal (at the corner of Mt Elizabeth Road and Kewin Mill Road). Yesterday we check both of those off the list!
It was opening day at the Farmer's Market and we got some great stuff - including amazing cherries and blackberries and something called a salad turnip, which looks like a giant radish but tastes a little sweet and a little like a turnip and you eat it raw.
Astrid got her first outing in over 2 months with a trip to the Market. She was very good!
After the Farmer's Market, we ventured up Phoenix Lake Road and found the trailhead near the Cedar Ridge area and went out on a 5 mile hike. That was the longest hike we had taken Astrid on. She had a pretty steady fight with her gentle leader but kept up with everyone. It felt so good to get out.
On our way home, we stopped at the Priest Station for lunch. It was our first meal out in almost 3 months and at first if felt scary. But we were sitting outside and the nearest other person was over 30 feet away. Our server wore a mask and we had disposable menus. It was great experience for Astrid because she missed 3 months of this type of exposure. She stayed in an "under" the whole time and G purposely dropped food (including brisket) on the ground to attempt to distract her. She was great and just looked at it. She was praised and rewarded with kibble.
All in all a good day was had by all.
