It was a cool in the morning but warmed up nicely. Eleanor was still recovering from her fall so picked a safe mount in Cricket. It was 43 deg. F when we started. The wind was calm. It warmed up to 60 degrees by the time we came in. Barometric pressure was steady.


From the Kennels we headed up the driveway and then turned South immediately after crossing the concrete and headed along the bean field, we went on up and circled the woods to the south of the driveway and came back along the top of the bluffs along the creek. Then Lee viewed near the big Ass Tree so we headed that way and had a short run but it was getting warm and the hounds lost. We then came back and stopped at the pond uphill from the kennels before heading in.
