Tracklogs - Man & Dog

[MtnHermit]

A few days ago I set off on a hike with my dog, he had the Venture Cx on his back, I the Colo 300. Both Tracklogs were set to Most and Auto.

 

 

My track is cyan, his is dark grey then red. I was curious where he disappeared to for 15-min. My guess he found a coyote and wanted to play. He didn't return until I whistled him back.

 

 

You can see from the Trip Logs, he double my distance, likely more than doubled my elevation, but the Venture will not record elevation totals.

 

Here's the GPS holder I put together, holds the eTrex:

That's pretty cool and your dog looks like my old dog, G.Shepard/Husky mix...may he rest in peace. Yours doesn't happen to have one blue eye and one brown, does he? Man, I'm tearing up, miss the old boy a lot!

Pretty cool!

 

I have a rotty-mix that I found in pretty poor shape on the side of the road (about 1.5 years ago), no tags or any identification. He's in great shape now.

 

When I take him out hiking in the forest, tho, I have to keep him on a flexi-lead leash. Too many episodes (3 - I'm a slow learner) of him running after deer or elk, and not returning for 30+ minutes.

 

The GPS idea is neat...

Pretty close. He's almost 10 YO, Siberian-Border Collie Mix, 2 brown eyes, got him as two-hands-full in Jan 2000 from the local Humane Society. I think he was suppose to be a sled lead dog, but males are always rejected, too mellow. Independent critter, but stays close to home 99% of the time.
