For those of you who have followed my journeys from van-life to Colorado-dweller, you know of my ever-faithful sidekick, Z-Dog, aka Ziggy. At the end of September, he will be turning 10 years old and he’s been with me since he was approximately 8 weeks old. I feel incredibly lucky to have had 10 years of adventures with a mellow and good-spirited companion like him, but his age is starting to creep in and the gray hairs are taking over his distinguished face. Despite supplements, glucosamine, and the best food money can buy, his back legs are showing serious signs of arthritis. I have mostly “retired” him from hiking, but recently I took him on a long jaunt through an avalanche-debris filled basin. <\/div>\n

My original plan was to hike nearby 14ers Redcloud and Sunshine. However, I didn’t sleep well the night before and turned my alarm off when it started ringing at 4am for the alpine start. When I finally crawled out of the 4runner at 7 am, I decided it was too late to try for summit and picked a different trail for the day. This trail ended up being Cooper Creek, in the basin next to the original 14ers. <\/div>\n
