Saturday Carol, Patches and I went to Durham to watch Ian at the UNH Lumberjacks Woodsman Fall Meet. A sunny breezy and cool day as the host team the Lumberjacks put on a well organized meet. There were six colleges participating most with multiple teams - men's and women's (Jacks & Jills). Visiting teams were: Unity College, Dartmouth College, UMaine, Colby College and U Connecticut. Fourteen events broken into singles, doubles and team participation. The spectator turnout of what I would guess was mostly parents and other relatives all seemed to me enjoying themselves many of whom brought their own dogs (who else's?) This of course made for chatting with each other about their pets and pets we left at home and had in the past.
Here Ian has completed one of his axe throws hitting the target. I haven't heard from him about it but as he hit the target on all his throws I'm guessing he came in first.
While watching one of the events I heard the squealing and laughing of a toddler behind me only to turn and see the cause of such enjoyment - Patches had the little girl and her grandmother totally under his control.

Team Cross Cut
Bow Saw
Log Roll
The UNH team with plenty of spirit after a long day which had yet a longer way to go as they still had to clean up and put gear away after all was said and done.
