OK, let me tell you about this Sutter Butte Hike my humans took me on yesterday. This is me standing outside my trailer along side LinLee Llamas Van, and my little friend WOL Cleocatra's Dancer tied up behind my trailer, waiting for the hike to begin. It was a beautiful morning and everyone was excited to spend the day together doing something great.
Dancer was suppose to carry the pack for our humans lunch...NOT ME!! Then my Mary was told that Dancer was to young to carry any weight, so...you guessed it, my job again!!! I hate to carry the pack any more. At my age I should just be allowed to walk and just enjoy the journey.

Next picture is my human Rick leading me up the hill carrying that pack.

Picture 3 is when we finally made it to the top of the mountain and the next shot is us under the Oak Trees having lunch.

We were told after lunch that it was just a small hill to climb and then it would be easy downhill the rest of the way back to the trailer. Small Hill...ya, right. Just look at how hard the humans had to work at getting us up there. We knew better but ended up following them up anyway. Just look at my Mary pulling on my lead trying to convince me that we could do this together..in the long run, she was right.

After reaching the top of that hill, time to head down and back to the trailer. Here I am with my Mary starting the downhill decent. There was a slight grade but then sweet sailing the rest of the way. Oh wait, a large tree has fallen across the road down the hill so instead of following the trial down to the left, we had to climb the mountain to the right up behind those trees. Well, needless to say, I stopped several time to rest and so did Dancer. I know Rick and Mary were actually happy since it gave them a chance to rest as well without looking wimpy to their human friends. Face it, we were all out of shape for this adventure.
The last photo I have to share today is the last downhill portion of the trip. The property owners home is in sight and so is my trailer. See the lady in behind the red llama, well, that is Bo one of the property owners. She was a real sweetheart and carried my panniers for me while Rick carried my saddle and walked me the rest of the way. I was so excited I almost trotted the rest of the way back but was actually to tired to do so.
Seriously, it was a great adventure and a beautiful day to be with family and friends. Next time I will have a hair cut and NO PACK...OK!!
