Ciao ciao ciaoooo
Oooh, what a boring few days I had! Smaug was so busy that I could barely see him in the evenings, but today he’s taking me to a short hike on the foothills of Rockies, so he will stretch a bit his legs while I’ll stretch my wings! I am so excited. My friend Paula will come with us too...well, she always comes with us. She is a little duck and she is always hanging out of Smaug’s rucksack, she could almost be a TV herself but (I can’t say this aloud) she just quacks all the time so her travelog would never be as interesting as mine is . Actually her real name is Paulina but I always call here Paula, she doesn’t really mind anyway...QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK....or maybe she does .
So, when we go hiking I always take care of the most important issue, supplies! I go to the kitchen and pack all...mmm, oh, maybe we’ll just grab a few donuts on the way .
Well, so, off we go without anything to eat: here I am in the car. I always love when we head West towards the mountains because, you never know, I might meet a real relative of mine, oooh!
I think that while Smaug’s driving (hopefully he won't get lost if I don't navigate for a few minutes) I’ll have a quick look at the newspaper, maybe there’s been an eagle-sighting....doesn’t seem so.
And here we are eventually at the parking lot ready to start the walk: here is the rucksack with Paula and me in my very comfortable pocket, very(cough) very comfortable.......can we please get the binoculars out of here? I feel like a sardine!!
Phew, somehow we are off on the trail. There is plenty of snow still, even if we are already in May, so there are a lot of wildlife footprint. Sherlock-sammino has to investigate: mmm, this one could belong to an elk, maybe a moose, wow...a size 40 boot would actually fit in there quite nicely too.
That was steep, wow!
Eventually Smaug had to stop and get some rest, so I took the chance for flying on the highest peak that I could find close by and have a look at this new potential hunting territory....mmm barely wide enough for a bald eagle as mighty as I am.
Boy, what a day! After my short flight we went to the car and drove back home. Pity that I didn’t see any other eagle, but hopefully it will be next time .
