On Saturday, my pack thought we needed to check out our section of the North Country Trail. We'd not been on it since last fall!
|
This is trail mutts paradise, Wally. |
|
This is the parking lot we camp at, when doing trail work. |
|
We had firewood here for hikers and now it's gone.
We'll re-supply it when we camp, soon! |
|
It was a grand day to be out. |
|
The beavers still have Tank Creek backed up. |
|
The re-route is still marked, though. |
|
Harvesting was still going on last fall. |
|
It froze overnight, so it was good going in the morning for
two trail mutts. |
|
Gromit! We've got to have adventures like this more often. |
|
We took a break here. It was getting warm. |
|
Here's our favorite take-a-rest spot. |
|
C'Mon Gromit! Let's get going! |
|
Hey, we can get a drink here, Wally. No way, Gromit!
That's way too scary for a puppy. |
|
We lead the way up and out of the creek draw. |
|
Boing! All the creeks are filling up. |
|
Hunting was good near Spring Creek. |
|
We thought this was Darling Creek...it's actually Spring Creek.
The 2-leggeds say it needs a bridge. |
|
Lunch! What do you mean, you didn't bring any kibble? |
|
We circled back around on the Forest Service Road. |
|
Lotsa melting near Pattison's camp. |
|
It was good going since snowmobiles had been here before. |
|
They also had packed the 2-track heading back to the NCT. |
|
We stopped at our favorite resting spot. |
|
Gromit recommended I take some snow baths before
it's too late....she's right. They're great! |
|
The snow was quite soft on the last stretch.
It got to be tough going for the senior trail mutt. |
|
We romp back through the beaver harvest area. |
|
Now we check out the re-route. They call this flagging "Connie tape". |
|
Arly replaced some ribbons that had come down over the winter. |
|
Trail mutts don't get lost, but you never know about those 2-leggeds. |
|
Hey! The beavers are working over here now, too. |
|
Made it! It was about 50 degrees out when we got back. |
|
We had such a grand adventure here today. |
|
I had to take a break while they changed their boots.
I was getting so darn tired, I couldn't stay awake. |
|
What do they mean, "A tired dog, is a good dog"? |
