Caesar and the Cougar Cave

On my Sunday show run through Gordon Head, I set off chatting about the local sights and sounds as P'kols pulled me along yet again. The pace was good until I hit the trails, where the heart rate mattered more than the watch and I stopped now and then to snap photos and catch my breath. Along the way I ended up in a couple of friendly trail-side debates about the new dog fencing and whether it’s really protecting the vegetation or just annoying the regulars. I also wandered up toward the old Cougar (or maybe Copper) Cave, thinking about the days when kids and even motorcycles used to roam these hills a lot more freely. By the time I crested the saddle between Little and Big Mount Doug, I was still happily rambling about the Ides of March, Caesar, and the little adventures that always seem to happen on a simple Sunday run. 🏃‍♂️🌲
