doniagoSee what I did there?
This past weekend was probably one of the best weekends of my life. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it had a lot of great moments.
Drove out to his place on Friday afternoon. Skipping the boring interstate route, both ways, definitely helped with my energy level, and holy shit the White Mountains in NH are fucking amazing! At one point, for reasons that defy understanding, Google had me take "Hurricane Hill" road, and it was an extremely narrow, extremely steep, and extremely windy road that scared the bejeesus out of me. Very exciting! Sadly no good views from the top because you had to hike to get to those. I did get a couple of decent pics on the way back home though.
Nocturne's friends Drach and Ashy were pretty cool. I'm not sure we exactly bonded, but they seemed very chill overall, and during Prowl Ashy did dance with Noc and I and even tugged on my harness a bit. Drach is a bit more introverted I think. Good guys who I'd be perfectly happy to see again sometime!
Pride in and of itself wasn't all that different from Burlington really, though there were certainly more furries and they seemed (gasp!) surprisingly more tolerant of pups and such. After the 1.5 mile one-way parade (ow!) we hungout at the festival for quite awhile. I've gotta say the weather was perfect for suiting: cloudy but very little rain, not humid, and temperature at about 60F.
More later! I am very much still recovering!
