Finally, the real Hawksbill Crag! Phil and Finn checked it out first. I had a hard time getting pictures of them because people kept walking into the camera view and I was too far away to ask them to please move back.
They cleared out for me and Sputnik. Not sure why. Maybe we needed a bath.
Yeah, we might have gotten a little bold there, but it didn't look as scary from where I was standing.
We got back to our cabin early enough to take a dip in the Buffalo River near the bridge at Ponca.
The water was a delicious temperature (probably near 80 degrees) and so crystal clear it was difficult to gauge the depth without stepping in.
We made the goats practice their swimming skills in a deep hole near the bridge. They weren't real happy with us, but I feel it's important that they are at least familiar enough with swimming to negotiate a deep crossing if they have to. Last time Sputnik went swimming was over two years ago and he kept threatening to drown himself if I didn't hold him afloat. He was much more proficient this time and didn't scream once, but he still didn't like it and was happy to run ashore at the first opportunity.
