Sundog highlights
Hello Newbies...Bonjour les Newbies!
Last time we had a big snow fall, we decided to go for a hike at Jim and Jenny's Sundog Outfitters in Dowling.
It was a perfect day for hiking as we had fresh snow on the ground, blue sky & sunshine with no wind. After a wonderful hike we indulged in a delicious lasagna dinner followed by campfire and a stick bread baking session!
We also had fun learning about various interpretations of what a Sundog means to the newbies. By far, the best interpretation was the song about the vegetarian hotdog.
So what is a Sundog really? (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
A sundog is a relatively common atmospheric optical phenomenon associated with the reflection/refraction of sunlight by the numerous small ice crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Sundogs typically appear as a bright and sometimes colorful spot in the sky at a position 22 degrees to the left and/or right of the sun. Sundogs are closely related to, and sometimes appear together with, a halo.
C'était une journée exceptionnelle pour faire une randonnée pédestre dans le bois. Nous étions une p'tite gang et nous nous sommes biens amusés en plein air. Nous avons aussi découvert divers interprétations de ce que c'est un "Sundog"... et bien la meilleur interprétation était une chanson à prepos d'un 'chien chaud' végétarien.
Here are some great pics of our Sundog filled day/Voici les photos lors de notre journée:
Thanks to Jim, Jenny and Fin who were our tour guides and cooked us up a delicious dinner!!
