The videographer was in a swamp with Syd.

Saber amazes with her ability. I put in a quick short track before work utilizing gravel which we really haven't work on much. I only aged the track for 30 minutes.

Track map is below, but it started on grass and crossed the road with ditches on both sides. Then took an open right turn on grass. Entered the gravel parting lot at a corner with a light post to the right and a sewer to left. Went diagonally across the parking lot before making a 90 degree left turn in the gravel. Continued for 50 steps before turning left on the gravel again. After leaving the gravel it was a step of grass, sidewalk and grass again.

Saber's start was excellent. She tracked straight across the road. The ditches did not bother her at all. She skipped the food drop. I should be probably take her temperature. She initially made the right turn, then rechecked other directions and continued correctly. It was an open turn, which she tends to stair step and did here. She went exactly where I did entering the parking lot. She stock her nose in the sewer because that is a favorite past time of hers. Clearly, she has not watched IT. She continued perfectly in the gravel. Indicated her metal article without prompt! Woo Hoo! Continued in the gravel and made the turn without assistance. She overshot the next turn in the gravel but corrected herself and found the track. She did check out the railroad ties in this time crossing them. She entered the grass about 5-10 feet to the left of where I did but very quickly corrected to the track and finished easily.

I was very impressed with her tracking this morning.
