like being with a friend

Cait, Niki and I went on a couple of short hikes on Friday. We met a local dog on the trail and after searching for a name on his collar with no luck we decided to call him "Wiley" pronounced Why-Ley. The name, to us, means "Wild Riley" because Cait has a dog named Riley who loves to lead our hikes. We found this dog in the middle of nowhere so we decided he must be Wild Riley.. Wiley.

He was sweet and it was as if he was waiting for us to arrive to start the trek. I discovered this particular trail back in November with my cousin, so I knew where I wanted to go.. but if I hadn't found it and we blindly followed Wiley he would have given us a really nice surprise. I love the views from this trail.. high bluffs over the ocean.

I'm glad we got that one day of outdoor activity in before the snow arrived the next morning. Montauk is really pretty in the snow, but I prefer my feet to be dry on a non-slippery ground.
