Any hike that begins with cow tilting has got to be good.

For those who weren't up to tilting cows, we had lamb tilting.

As Julia points out, we titled 5 lambs -- Joanne, Kathy, Laura, Robin and Peggy each titled one. Sherman was properly too embarrased to tilt a little lamb, he was satisfied with tilting cows.

After the animal tilting came animal taunting. Joanne offers her thumb to a baby goat instead of milk, while Laura hurls insults at them. "You're so short, you could be a teller at a piggy bank", she shouts.

Robin and Peggy, crossing the mighty West Fork.

Kathy and Joanne prepare to cross after Julia when, suddenly, Robin makes a dash. All you can see of her is this blur. She knows that every time I take a picture, someone is going to get picked on in the web site.

How many more minutes before the next person gets a turn on the log ride? Two. Well, Sherman thinks it's 5, but Laura, Joanne, Peggy, Robin and Kathy think it's two minutes until Julia has to let someone else ride.

Rather than taking the short "Bunny Loop", I convnced everyone to take the longer route, with the "obstacle course" option.

Has anyone else noticed that Joanne has 3 arms?

An overheated, red faced Mike cools off in the stream.

This is the great goal. Once you see this sign, all the hard climbing is done.

Laura and Sherman seem to always be in the lead, except this time I took a shortcut to get in front of them. That was a mistake -- I quickly let those two eat all the spider webs again.

Nothing smart to say -- it's just such a pretty picture of the trail.

Back to the farm again, everyone has to go see the pigs.
