We hiked to the top of Jack’s Peak in Monterey yesterday.  Hazel couldn’t hang long, but Max is a great hiker.  They are pretty good about encouraging each other when one gets tired.  It’s really sweet.  We keep the complaining to a minimum with a simple rule:  You whine, you lose your everything in your hands and pockets.  That means precious pinecones, rocks, and sticks would get left behind, so they stay pretty cheerful.  In the last three pictures, you can see Carmel River State Beach close to our house.  The piece of land sticking out is Point Lobos.
