Shaghig, Jonathan, Abner and I stopped on the side of the Bass Pond for a group shot. Abner seemed somewhat indifferent to the process.

Despite appearances, we didn't sit down for the entire hike at Biltmore. There is a little seasonal outdoor cafe by the Winery where we did stop for a little liquid refreshment.

Abner is always happy to be along on these walks. . .even when he is with Jonathan who used to torment him mercilessly when we worked together in Sacramento.
