BevLive: the day before Soldier Hollow

Amanda and I worked our dogs again this morning. It went a bit better. I think the sheep had resigned themselves to the routine. After our work I left for Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah. Took about five hours to get here. A lot of desert and mountains interspersed with these deep green/blue lakes. I don't know where the water comes from, snow melt?

Soldier Hollow's most famous view

Nel's lame. Wore through her pad. The western ground is very tough on the eastern dogs. The ground here is so much harder, drier and abrasive that our soft footed dogs are often troubled by sore feet. She runs on Saturday. I sure hope she is sound by then.
