Practice Search for Buster again

At Bicentennial Park in Tukwila, we did a short wagon wheel trail after Komu's certification test.  The day was warming up quickly, so I didn't want to have a long trail.  I took a scent article from Buster, and then Buster, Sage, Rita, and Kody walked straight north.  In about 100 yards, they fanned out in several directions, west, north, northeast, and east.  Buster went east, leaving the common trail first.  When Kelsy followed a few minutes later, she overshot Buster's trail.  She looked back, giving her negative signal, but she also went up to the other dogs before going back to where Buster's trail branched off.  Once on Buster's trail again, she followed right up to his hiding place.  The temperature and humidity listed below were a couple hours earlier.  It was much warmer and drier when Kelsy worked.
