It was a blustery cold day. Winds were from the West at 4-12 mph. Temperature ranged from 39 to 43 deg. F. It was drizzling a little and overcast. I put toe warmer packets into my boots.


We headed west into the wind. Had some puppies on riot early on but they were stopped quickly. The day was mostly blank. As we were coming in they spoke and sounded really good zig zagging around in a small area. They couldn’t kept he scent though as the wind was picking up. We headed in and enjoyed the sandwiches.
