Episode 5: Western Town This has been a beautiful Southern California weekend. Saturday was a little on the hot side but today was quite nice, around 80 degrees at mid-day along the Pacific coast. I decided to take Reign for a hike in the Santa Monica Mou...  

Did you stay at the hotel Mud Bug Daos ? Seeing these "ghost" towns, brings back childhood-memories, those were the days ... . Filip

It's my favorite genre (along with creature features). I grew up watching everything with cowboys in it. I think my love of Westerns sprang from my love of horses...then cowboys...then gunfights/action scenes. Some of my favorite Westerns are classics lik... 

At night. Cool photos, did Reign find any dead bone to chew? Best regards from Shangai, Daos. Luc

...but he did find some sticks! Reign loves sticks! I do buy him elk antlers to chew on at home. Those are great for cleaning his teeth too. Hope you are having fun in Shanghai and not missing Lili too much! Travel safely! Daos

We need to see Reign soon. He's getting to be a big boy! Best, CaliforniaJed

He is a big boy! He's all muscle and wagging tail! I'm sure he would like to visit with your kids in particular! Cheers, Daos

. . . reminds me of this scene . . . . . . from "High Plains Drifter" . . ....  

...I was just re-watching High Plains Drifter. Great work from Clint on both sides of the camera. Cheers, Daos

and a great locale..didn't know that these places existed in the Santa Monica mountains...very cool

...are a fun place to run around, discovering wildlife and natural beauty at every turn. There are thousands upon thousands of acres of adventure just waiting for you! The Paramount Ranch is around 2,700 acres alone. My next hiking project is Solstice Can... 

Up the top of Decker Canyon (Neptune's Net is there on PCH) is Mishe Mokwa trail and Sandstone Peak The obligatory wrist shot This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-04-19 15:28:43...  

I don't think I could make it up there! A beautiful picture though. Is that you standing on top of the world? Cheers, Daos

Just a little uphill in the beginning. Worth driving up for. A lot of nice people hike there.

Thanks for the pics. We were at Universal Studios over the weekend so we saw the old western set building that they used for movies, these buildings look better. How's Reign been doing with the obedience classes? -MW

...before we graduate from his Canine Good Citizen prep program. I will probably take him for his test sometime this summer after IGOTT, if I feel he's truly ready. I am also looking into starting private lessons with him so we can prepare to compete for ... 

Wish you could show a pic of Reign at the ranch too. But there will always be the next episode. Thanks for sharing. Ruckdee

Reign is almost 80 lbs. of pure muscle! I figure he will be around 85 lbs. His head alone must weigh 20 lbs. LOL! My dad calls him "baby bear head." I thought of you over the weekend because I saw a man riding his bicycle while his Beagle ran alongside. A... 

First, your country probably will not grant me visa because I am a freelancer with no real job. Second, I don't know how to ride a bike! Oh, there, I said it publicly... One of my beagles only started to "yodel" not long ago and he does that only when the... 

That must be a racket! Beagles are so adorable! Hope you are having a good week. Cheers, Daos
