Border collie resting on large boulder after climbing down muddy mountain trail.

---

Halfway down Mt. Banjirodake, she jumped up onto this boulder and waited for me to catch up with her. On the way up the mountain, we both kept about the same pace. But on the way down, I with my backpack full of gear and my careful navigation of muddy rocks on the trail were no match for a spry border collie!
