"should have been trailing the bear" was the response- the joke is- yea probably so- ... Toss in the back of the pickup- thanks- and take off again-.. My husband is pointing out- this is private land here, and the dogs should not be here but in the National Forrest they can not use dogs- so yea- I get invaded? We have a call into the ranger, but he said last year, at best they will state the dog lost ... uh huh..
BTW- I live on the opposite ridge of the Blue ridge.. I border the GW National Forrest on 3 sides. And the one other is a cliff..
