Hike

This morning Edwards and I were invited up to Sue's to go on a hike. Before we set out we all admired Sue's new raised bed garden! She is done with on the ground weeding, DONE! It would appear that she does not plan to share with the rabbits. . .I am sure the deer can leap that fence and Mr. Moose will just walk through it if he wants to.



We were joined on the hike by Iris, whom I picked up as I drove by, and Joyce and her dog, William. Joyce lives over on Perch Pond. So we four ladies and three gentlemen dogs set out. There are wonderful ATV trails down through Sue's property.


Sue had strategically placed political signs along the route which made me laugh. Take a look at these three relatively clean dogs. . .when we got to the end of the trail they looked like pitiful mud wrestlers. . .


At one point on our hike we spied what looked like bear tracks in the clay. There were definite claw marks.







The going was not very easy in places. Road pretty rocky and did I mention it was muddy.



In jig time we turned in at our old red gate up back and came down the trail and there was our outhouse. Next stop was a swim in the lake before these dogs could become part of civilization again.





Such a handsome William, despite the mud.









Edwards is ready to take the plunge.
Dripping wet and mudless!























A happy swimmer.







Good dog!
