Backpacking with the mastiff

Here are some pics from our latest backpacking trip.  Rocco is so cute when we are in the woods.  He's so happy and wants to run and explore everything.  He packs his own 20lb pack that includes everything he will need, including his sleeping bag.
     
I tested my new Gregory pack for the first time and it is awesome.



 Yeah, I should have worn my hiking boots but I was feeling nimble in my old nike runners.



 Beautiful lake full of brook trout
 We have video of rocco swimming, he basically taught himself.  We're so proud of that guy.



As I mentioned earlier, Rocco is awesome in the woods but instead of sleeping that night he was on guard dog duty.  He was amped and ready to take on any creature that wandered too close.  He finally went to sleep when we put the rain fly on our tent so he couldn't see out of it.  That was at 4:30 am. Wasn't the best night's sleep we've ever had.


 We ate well, homemade chicken parmesan, homemade berry cobbler with whipped cream, breakfast burritos with green chili and hashers.
