Cal and Irene's Favorite Things to Do

Hunting with our dogs -- can't think of any thing we'd rather be doing (well, maybe one other). Our dogs have become very important members of our family, second only to our parents and kids. We're probably obsessive about them, but they give us a lot in return. Their lives are so short, that's the tragedy...

We spend most of our vacation time with the dogs and horses at field trials in the Pacific Northwest, travelling for 3- and 4-day weekends to desert areas of WA, OR, ID and BC. Occassionally we do a 10-day trip linking in a visit to Mike and Lori or elsewhere. We're lucky it's something we both enjoy that allows us to do something with the dogs and horses at the same time.

Manette and Mike Jones host us up to Calgary this spring to judge and run dogs. Getting there and back was a scenic wonder, and the grounds were fabulous. The site north of Bragg Creek on the Elbow River is a transition zone from prairie to foothill terrace, about 3500' elevation. We had cool mornings and warm afternoons, with only a few hours of wind, rain, and cell activity. Lots of wildlife were scene, including elk, whitetail, wolf, and moose. The trial was well-run, with 109 dogs in three days (one course). A memorable treat alll around.
