At home on Sunday morning, 5 of my 6 dogs lounge about on the living room floor, not yet aware that we'd be heading north that very day. The moment they realize it, they become quite excited and eager to go. But for this moment, all is calm.
I took care of the cats, the birds, the guinea pig and the house plants. I vacuumed the rugs and washed 2 loads of clothes. Then the dogs and I headed up the Northway to the high peaks region of the Adirondacks. This picture was taken of my little red car alongside Route 73 looking toward Giant Mountain and Rocky Peak Ridge. Many years ago, I hiked Rocky Peak Ridge with two dogs as a sort of vision quest. It was memorable and seeing the mountain range in the distance brought it all back to me.
We stopped along the way several times. Here, at the base of Rocky Peak Ridge, Wren and Wally trot through the paths which were covered with pine needles.
And Fergus, Casey and Seamus sniff to see what wildlife has been there recently.
Fergus, Wally, Casey and Seamus. Seamus sure looks happy, doesn't he?
Winky all by himself in the woods. He wasn't anxious to get back into the crowded car.
I stopped in the tiny town of Brighton to buy myself a sub. While I waited for it to be prepared, I noticed the hayfield across the road which was flooded with bright orange flowers, presumably Orange Hawkweed. It was lovely.
Another view, this one with a high peak in the distance. I had made plans to visit an Adirondack herd of Scottish Highland Cattle our way to the farm. I'll put those photos in my next post.
