The day started cold and sunny so we went to Robin Hill Park, about a mile south of our place, for a walk in a beautiful cedar forest. Other days we go to Dungeness, a mile or two north, and get some ocean views. Sometimes we just walk in the neighborhood. The trail down to the beach is in rough shape after all the rain storms - trees down, trail washed out, bridges knocked over, so we just walk on the road around the ranch. There is little traffic, only locals, so for a road walk it isn't bad and it gets the dogs out when I don't feel like driving anywhere. But now the clouds have moved back in.
We had an earthquake about 11:30 last night, although I didn't know that till the morning news. I thought one of the dogs had banged into the door. I happened to look outside and noticed the neighbor's lights on. Thought it was odd that she was up so late. The star-studded sky was gorgeous, reminding me of the desert at night. The quake epicenter was almost directly north of us in the Strait, I think 4.8, so not big enough to do any damage here.
Here are the dogs in their new harnesses at Robin Hill Park. Yes, leashes required everywhere except our private trail to the beach.
