Moses Lake

On Friday I flew out of Portland to Spokane, where I then rented a car and drove for 1 1/2 hours to Moses Lake. (Moses Lake is one of the few large natural lakes in the Columbia Basin of Washington. It is long and narrow, with an area of 2753 hectares, mean depth of 5.8 m, and maximum depth of 11.6 m. The city of Moses Lake is on its shores) My hotel was on the shore of the lake, and so I spent Friday afternoon reading a book and relaxing in the sheltered, warm balcony of my motel room. An early start on Saturday as I had 169 dogs and a group to judge. Then back to the hotel for the club dinner and a fairly early night, before another early rise before a lighter days work today - just 98 dogs and 2 groups. Then hop in the car drive back to Spokane, catch the flight home and finally have a relaxing dinner with David at Olive Garden. Get home, recheck email - the urgent ones were attended to on the road - and then update blog and head to bead. A typical weekend, in the life of a judge!

Then just received this picture from Janet - see the link in the side bar to Team Beagle, for more photos
