Rainy Days in the RV
RVing is so much fun . . . except for rainy days in the RV. The only challenge is that when it rains, we are trapped in an RV. Most of the time, that means that we trapped for an hour or two while a little rainstorm passes over. But then there are days like…

An Even Dozen
What is twice as much fun as six Siberian Huskies? Why, an even dozen of Siberians, of course. In our continuing S-RV adventure, we visited some friends in Charleston, SC, and decided to go walking at James Island County Park. So, yes, we made quite the Siberian parade through the park.

A Long Trip and Hitchhikers
As we mentioned yesterday, our weekend plans kicked into gear including both a long trip and hitchhikers.

Read Today's Herd StoryBack to the Trails
One of the great benefits of spring is that we can access our higher elevation trails (many roads are closed in the winter). We love getting into the backcountry and hiking these trails. The winter weather can create a lot of havoc on the trails, downed trees, brush, wash-outs. We just consider those to be…

Every pack has one. That one dog who always seems to be looking for trouble. It really doesn’t take much guessing at Chez Herd to guess who we are referring to. Uh, no, Typhoon, that would not be who we are talking about. But we are guessing you are really, really close. We will describe…
