The last hiking trip we took was to Copper Creek to see the falls and let the dogs enjoy the water. This area is a few towns over just down the coast from us, and used to mine copper by the Encinitas Mining Company in the 1900’s. It is said that this was one of the largest copper mines in the world and was critical to the war effort.

A glorious hike on a spring. I do not mind hiking when it is cold. But summer is either inside the house or the beach ?. How are you? Going strong with the challenge?
-
You would of not liked this hike. Way too hot for you. I even ended up by dunking my head in the fall, and got wet for the way back. Luckily this hike wasn’t very far.
-
And that is why I love the beach. Lotsa water to cool off the sun – – – and ended up with a nasty burn ??. What I like about hiking is the feel of the soft breeze when you get to the top. Perfect if you can drink a young coconut water after a long hike ?

I love the beach as well. Luckily I don’t burn easily. I do agree, and love to swim.
I know that feeling of reaching the top, that is a great feeling. I can feel that breeze on my face just thinking about it. Now for the coconut water, that’ll make you feel refreshed and so good for you. 🙂

The salmon wanna-be got better? Lol, the photo with Meika on the top, I kept having this feeling she is gonna dive in, shouting “Heee haaa!!”

I gave her two weeks of healing time and it looked like she was good to go, but got hurt again on this trip. I did some research and found out with the tears she had it would take about 20 days to a month to heal enough to hike again. I also found out how she did it, we had hiked near this shale hill that was very steep. She went to the top and must of slid down. We will get her some booties for when we hike places like that from now on. Not many trails around here have that kind of rock so only on occasion will she have to wear them.
-
Now, I’ve to imagine them in booties!
But yeah, whatever is needed to keep them from hurting themselves again …

It shoulds, as always like you had a wonderful walk. Nice of you to go places where the dogs could enjoy swimming!
-
Yes it was, even though the falls were not on a large scale the dogs loved it. The mine was cool to see, the rocks were so pretty. Some awesome greens and reds in them.

Lbs, or points I would take it. Funny thing, we always joke about finding that nugget. Like the one at the Golden Nugget. 😉

Wow, Meika is always top dog! 🙂
Yes, she is, and in more ways than one. lol
Confronting each other from a distance. Beautiful setting.
I think she was looking for the easiest way to get up there.
Wow, Meika really knows how to pose!
