It's no longer there.

I was going to drive down to Roy Washington for a dog autocross lure coursing event this coming weekend. Thought I'd mention since it's cool to watch. They set it up in a 5 acre field and the "rabbit" goes all over changing directions. Dogs often slide out and tumble, fun to watch! I'll be certifying my dog to run the course saturday afternoon and then hopefully racing him on sunday. The track is 810 yards long!

This one is cool cause you can see how fast they are going on the back stretch.

There's also a place in Roy for those who have working (herding) dogs, it might even be in the same place. It's called Ewe-topia, I've been wanting to take my Sheltie there for some time as the cost is pretty reasonable.

This event is at the Roy Polo Field 5.2m south of 288th and 8th.

I found the address which is also on 288th, but they've been there since 1992. Looks north and west of your place...

that is awesome. Shelties are smart! If I ever get property and a farm I'm getting a dog like that for sure. Just kinda comes with the territory.

Like, Roy just south of parkland/spanaway Roy? Wow. I didn't think they did anything but drink and store cars at the junkyard out there...

Looks all farmy out there. The hotels they have listed look kinda sketchy too. I was going to borrow my friends camper trailer but he's winterized it already. Anyone have one in the area I can borrow for saturday night? Very Happy

I'll compensate.

Man, you're just a little south of us. I don't have a trailer, but if you're going to be up here Saturday you should swing by the bar for a beer. Cheers
