Munchkin and I had a nice morning with FHC at Chapel Springs. It was beautiful out. Sunny, warm and a little breezy. Beautiful but not ideal for foxhunting. We basically worked Chapel Springs from top to bottom. The hounds spoke early but it didn't lead anywhere.
On the way back up just by the pond Mathew took the hounds and cut through the woods. The hounds started speaking quickly. The fields meanwhile had to loop around the end. We came around at a good run and shot the gap between the sheds and the house. Then we continued on across the field to almost the fence line. When we got there the hounds had put the fox to ground.
So a slow day capped off with a short but fast run. It was kind of like getting a birdie on the last hole of golf - leaving you the feeling that you need to come back for more. Somewhere on that run Munchkin and I popped up to about 22MPH for about five seconds. For the day we covered about 6.5 miles.
