On Monday the 14th, Bill went to Ramona to help work on his old trike, which he sold to friend Karl. The dogs and I went with him. Ouray stayed to stake out some good sunning time with the guys, and Seneca and I took off for our Girls Day Out. This was to be my first time (and Seneca's too) up Mt. Woodson from the east side, which entails a VERY steep old paved road. Once on top (with all the antenna towers), we would transition to the trail which starts down on the west side, then hook up with the old Fry-Koegle trail, which would eventually loop us back to Hwy 67. It was a beautiful, perfect hiking day - cool, with gorgeous clouds.
The start of the old road.
We exited the road momentarily to check out the view. In the meantime, we got passed by a beagle with his guy. Do they know they're being watched??
One of the many cool parts of this road. I wasn't too excited by the idea of hiking up on pavement, but this road was actually pretty awesome - between the humungous boulders it winds around and the expansive eastern views.
Seneca scopes it...
The road, with 2- and 3-story sized boulders on each side and sometimes overhanging!
Bird on a Wire? Dog on a Ledge!
Seneca, SuperDog!
Looking east. Cuyamaca Peak somewhat hidden by a cloud.
Up, up, up!
Cool honeycomb rock formation (dog included).

I've heard this rock referred to as The Potato Chip Rock...
Seneca, Queen of All She Surveys...
Heading down the west side but looking back...

Seneca the Supreme Ruler...
Me & Senny do the self-portrait thing again. Four hundred tries and one decent shot later...
Just ANOTHER trail shot...
Seneca leads the way on the old Fry-Koegle portion...
oooo...approaching the witching hour...!
A girl and her dog (well, one of them...)
The way home.
