Another Tuesday morning at Swedetown trails.

OK, maybe I should tell everyone that my pack rides much more than once a week and more locations than just Swedetown trails.  I do get out for a run just about every day. I just don't get to my blog as much as I'd like...a dog has priorities ya know.

We started at the main trail head.

Ya!

We headed out on the Back Country trail.

 

Then 2 Hoots Too.

We saw lotsa forget-me-nots along Applesauce trail.

Then 'round to see Farmer's Well.

We took Lakeview loop going counter-clockwise.

The old homestead.

We rounded the curve by the beaver pond to hear loud,
 excited squawking.  Ya they make quite the noise.

Mr. and Mrs. Sandhill Crane were not that glad to see us.

We headed up Cable Connector.

They went over the rock pile, I went around.

The skeeters made sure we didn't dally here very long.

We started heading back on 2 Hoots and Bunker.

 

Going over the Bunker.

We stopped at the Cafe Rosetta and Gail stopped by just to see me!

And kids too! You know I love kids.

I hope to be back here soon.

Saturday morning at Swedetown trails.

With wonderful weather predicted for the holiday weekend, my pack thought we should cruise around these wonderful trails.

We got-a-going right away in the morning.

We headed up the Happy Ending first.

It was such a nice morning for a romp!

It was cool out...but I still get hot.

Oh Ya!

We didn't happen to see any snow shoers.

We went to check out the Farmer's Well next.

Where's the dog??? Oh, hunting was good.

Look like an old farm stead to you?

I keep my nose wet as we run.

No problem here.

Some dogs like me, just don't get out much.

We viewed the lake on Lakeview Loop.

Here's the old homestead on the other end
of Lakeview Loop

We checked out 7/11. It had dried up and was good too.

Best of all, I got to see some friendly bikers!
I hope to see you soon, too.

Sunday romp with Mark's gang!

On Sunday afternoon we joined Mark's gang (KDSS) to hike a couple trails up north. We parked at Esrey Park on a cool, breezy Keweenaw summer day.

People stopped to look at the signage.
Trial mutts don't need no signs!

Up the hill we go.

We passed through 4 types of forest along the way.

This trail ended on Brockway Moutain Drive.

We then proceeded to the next trail.

Sign says we head to Upson Lake.

Me and Bella led the way again.

I had to be conservative on the beaver dam crossing...

Bella of course was much braver.

Oh good, after our romp we're all going
to the Brickside Brewery. 
This place was Mutt approved a few years ago.

Gee, we found a pack of friendly mutts here today!

Can I have some chips?

We all had such a nice visit here.

Hey, Dave has chips too! Me and Pepper sure are hungry.

All us mutts had to resort to hunting for morsels on the floor.

Oh Jessica! We missed you.

Hey! This fella is good for some treats.

Lots of friendly people here today. 
We have been soooooooooo good!

Ya Jason, we appreciate a mutt friendly business ya know.
And good beer too!

 

Saturday Swedetown Swing

Oh Ya Mark. Finally we can all romp together!

We met Mark at the chalet to ride Swedetown.

Still lots of light with the leaves only budding.

We headed out on the Bunker Trail.

Then Two Hoots.

Ya Mark, winter dogs need to
take a cool dip now and then.

Arly checked out the marsh marigolds.

Now we're going again!

Arly wanted to do Lakeview Loop but he was voted down
so we headed back on Farmer's Well.
A few muddy spots here n there but
overall a fine ride today at Swedetown.
