  They do have muscles. All dogs need to get out and just run, act like dogs now and then. More people should do this that own them.

#3 All four dogs

By the time miss slow poke (me) gets to the pool all four dogs were already in the water. My son took this shot.

  He is darn near a pro. Before he dove, he was in the water to test the depth. It was about 20 feet deep here.

#10 Slide rock

You can actually slide down this rock into a deep pool.

Isn't the water clear... This is one of my favorite places in the county.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Have a great day.

    It counts 1/2, but the shadow could be one of your family members. How can we be sure lol lol. Just teasing, but it would be nice to see this super wonder hiker.
