Surprise Hike

My roommates woke me up early today to share the good news “Wake up Little Fox, we’re hiking today.”  I jumped out of bed and got my backpack packed.  It’s sunny and about 55 so I figured I would bring some huckleberry lemonade.  I was surprised because a Moose joined me on the hike.  This Moose REALLY likes Christmas, it's almost April and he is still wearing his Santa hat.  

These trees are Oaks, I think?  Am I right?  Do you see the old corral?  I think this used to be a ranch. 
Thankgoodness I am not a Dog.  Nothing was mentioned about leashes for a Little Fox or Moose.  We are in the clear, now “How do I get down from here?”

The view of the Columbia River Gorge was amazing.  I hear if you follow the river North it goes into Canada.  It’s a beary long way from here to Canada – but it would be a cool boat trip and fun to see Sandy. 

If you look carefully I think you can see the flowers and Mt. Hood in this picture.  A beary nice day, after all this gardening yesterday (sorry Jerry) and hiking today, I need a break.

  1. Oh, it looks so pretty down there! And some wild flowers too - and a hiking buddy. You are one lucky fox!

    1. I am a lucky fox, now if I could only get the Moose to hike more often. I hope that I get to see more wildflowers next weekend. We'll see....

    2. Eh? Mooses/Moose/Meese should love hiking!! They are at home in the forest and the meadows. Hmmm... hope you get to see some flowers!

  2. Beautiful views! Looks like a great place for a picnic too! Be careful though, there are some bears who have been sleeping all winter and are a little sleepy and crabby still...not like Sandy or us...so just make sure you don't run up to them and hug them because they might not like that.

    1. Thanks for the advice, I know I am craggy when I wake up from a fox nap so I could only imagine what a bear must feel like after a long Winter nap. It was a great place for a picnic, I wish my roommates brought more chicken though.

    2. Foxes get cranky too?? That is good to know... I can't wait to get out for another hike/walk - that makes the crankies go away beary quickly.

  3. Oh, don't forget the brownies and little fruit tarts next time! Bears love fruit tarts (well, any dessert really, hehe).

    1. Those desserts sound good; does Ben know how to make those in his kitchen and does he ship his creations to the West Coast?

    2. Hehe, well, he does make beary good brownies and cookies...we maybe have to send you a sample to take on your next hike.

    3. Oh, I know how to make blueberry tarts... wild blueberry tarts! They are the best (after honey - of course). I don't know that I can ship to the States though...

    1. That's a cool shirt, I don't think my owners are going to get it for me, they already think I am a little narcissistic. However, maybe if I help them with the weeding then they might decide to get it for me as a reward.

    2. That is a beary good idea Little Fox. We think it would make a beary nice wedding gift! Now, if they only sold it in your size too!

    3. Wedding?? Is there a wedding somewhere? Is Little Fox getting married?? Oooohhh... who's the foxy lady??

      Delete
    4. Little Fox, what is this about a wedding? Are you going to be Best Fox at this wedding? You must look beary sharp in a tuxedo.

    5. Hmm I saw "weeding" and also "wedding". These are two beary different things.

    6. Oh, I bet you are right, it would be a nice weeding gift (as well as a wedding gift).
