Dog Rescue and Six Mile Canyon

This morning I headed out for today's drive in Six Mile Canyon. First, I went to the Flying J to check my mailbox. Along the way, near the cattle guard at the entrance to Six Mile Canyon Road, I spotted a small dark Yorkie with a service dog harness in the road approaching and dodging cars. He or she seemed lost and disoriented. I went on to the Flying J, but stopped to put a bulletin about the dog at the Jamestown Community Facebook page.

I went to the Flying J and on my return the dog was still there. After a bit of coaxing, I finally got the dog into the Jeep and proceeded a block away to the fire station. They were prepared as they have a kennel for lost animals. They did some checking and found out who the owner is. The people they contacted would contact the owner.

Sure enough, I received a voice mail message from Mindy Schultz of the fire station an hour later (it came in while I was in Six Mile Canyon where there's no cell coverage) stating that the owner picked up the dog. It was a female Yorkie named "Dr. Stephanie". Well, I did my "good deed" for the day.

I went on to Six Mile Canyon Road and found that the repaired section near the culvert would be passable for "The Beast". Maybe I'll do some dry camping in Six Mile Canyon next week.

I drove into Six Mile Canyon and saw one other vehicle, a late-model red Jeep. There was a toybox camping trailer camped at the corral just inside the gate, but I saw nobody around it.

It was about 81° outside during my drive, so it was nice and warm out. I headed to the valley area of Six Mile Canyon and hung out there for a while before heading back.
