Thunderstorms threaten as Cooper and I descend a wooded trail towards the Haw River. The path takes us downstream and across a small tributary creek. A fallen tree spans the shallow waterway. However, a foggy morning followed by periodic sprinkles coat its surface with a slippery sheen. I heed thoughts of caution until scattered boulders invite a rock-to-rock traverse. Resistance proves futile.
Cooper hesitates but follows my lead across the stepping stones. He's a master in adapting to his new woodland and water environment. We find numerous animal tracks in the muddy, riparian habitat. While Cooper explores scent trails, I take time to enjoy the serenity and capture several images of the churning river. Soon rain cuts our adventure short and we skedaddle back uphill to shelter in our vehicle.
