Hi,

this is Salsa the Wonder Doodle.  I am excited that you are going to join me hiking on the marathon trails!  They are so much fun to explore and splash and sniff around.  Oh my goodness, hiking is my most favoritest thing to do in the whole wide world!  I am a lucky dog because Mom and Dad take me hiking all the time.  

I kid you not, I hiked all of the trails last year, every single one that has ever been on a marathon.  Can you guess how many trails that is?  I can’t count, silly, I’m a dog.  But Mom counted them up and there are 37 different trails from the first nine years.  You can read all about them in the book for the Ten Year Anniversary of the Hiking Marathon.  And I helped write the book!  I hope to see you out there soon.  If you see me, ask me for a special Salsa sticker.  Tootles.  🐾
