It was five years ago today that Sadie made Surprise Lake her permanent home . . .
Happy Trails Sweet Buddy - July 15, 2007
Today was a lot different than July 2007 - there was no snow that day and it was quite warm! This year, there is still a lot of snow left at Surprise Lake - but we easily made it to the south end of the lake where it is more melted out.

Barry, Darryl and Gus joined me on this visit. It was a celebration, too - and Gus was kept busy with his birthday party preparations as I left not just one, but two sandwiches for Sadie.

I'll keep visiting Sadie every year for as long as I can - after all, I will forever be Sadie's Driver . . . she was the best buddy . . . And, a warning to all of you mountain explorers . . . hang onto your sandwiches - she's quick!
