While only an unplowed, single lane, dirt road, it had a few road signs. The dogs ignored everything but exciting smells. They loved to find odoriferous surprises:
The pooches had been running ahead, but after awhile they slowed down:
The scenery was pleasant, mostly Red Pines and White Pines, with small Beech trees still holding onto their coppery leaves:
Fergus is quite the sprinter, and his ears flop as he runs:
And after each running session, the dogs would quiet down for a minute or two and investigate their surroundings:
Even old Seamus got playful:
But we didn't go far, and were soon retracing our steps, heading for our parked car:
The woods were so lovely that I kept taking scenery photos. I'll post them tomorrow:
Happy dogs:
I used to walk this trail/road all the time, but have since found so many new places to go with the dogs that it had been a long time since we'd been here. It's less than five miles from home, so we should go here more often:
I couldn't see our car because it was behind giant snowbanks, but I sensed it was just up ahead:
Indeed, the darker road up ahead was where the plowed road had ended and I parked the car. We were almost there. It had been a short but enjoyable hike, a pleasure to be outdoors with the happy dogs:
