I had promised Nuke a long hike on Saturday so although it was pouring down rain and chilly, I dressed for the weather and took him out anyway. We ended up walking all over town for three hours and ultimately climbing up to the M on Mount Sentinel.

We have a local contingent of “Occupy…” protestors. I am not sure what they’re trying to do – we don’t have any big corporations here. But they’re camped out on the courthouse lawn.

Anyhow, when we took off on our hike i noticed folks had gone up to the M and made it say “MT 99%”:

It still makes me laugh!

And here’s Nuke up above the cloudline on the mountain.

Took Nuke out for an hour of tracking and playing way up in the hills above town. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
