Visits

2003-01-31: Estimated date. A couple of days camping and hiking. On one of our hikes, a dog adopted us and followed us around all day. Returning to town, the owner of the dog was happy to see us. We met some man who kept blowing up his computer's power supply due to the erratic electricity.
