We were just past the bridge on the hiking trail when Jose and his dog Jake caught up with us. Simon was immediately offended for some reason. He planted his feet and gave me the look. Since Jose decided to wait for Wayne, whom he had just talked to on his cell phone, I suggested he and Jake turn around and walk back to the bridge. They started back, Simon unplanted himself and off we went. Wayne and Jose joined us later, and all was well. The little dickens never knew. Tricked him, I did.
