Music on the Menu with friendly people!

Oh ya, every Friday over the noon hour,  our Portage Lake library has musicians come by to play for an hour and the crowd here is always friendly.  For some reason, Arly has not got me back here much.

Oh I love being here with all the friendly music fans.

These two are quite good.
It's Jan Juntunen and Bob Hiltunen performing today.

Hey!  I know these kids.  I've meet them here before.

I don't get out to socialize much ya know.

And no one ever pets me either.  I wonder what happened to Sharon?

Some of the fans are getting a bit tired.

Afterwards I shook.  We have such a nice time here.
Are we coming back next Friday??  I hope so!

Bridgefest Parade fun with kids!

On Friday I was in the Bridgefest parade!  Keweenaw Nordic loves to do fun things, so they march in parades. And, since KNSC is mutt friendly, we 4-leggeds join in the fun.

Oh ya, some dogs just don't get out much.
These are Ski Tigers who'll march with us.

I love skiers.  I'm a snow dog you know!

Now I got my parade ware on.

Since we're waiting to start, you can scratch me some.

We're off!

Arly's a real ham today.

Oh good, kids line the streets.

These Ski Tigers really know how to roller ski good.
 They went around and around the float.

And more kids.  I love them! 
No one ever touch's me good like this.

An artsy shot here.

These M.O.T.O.R. kids came all the way from Kingsford just to see me.
They play Music Over The Open Road.

Ya, you kids can pet me too.

Me and the kids all love a parade.

Do note, Gromit's pack is really getting out for rides or hikes on most days.  But with the tree canopy now fully grown, light in da woods is low, so good photo's are difficult to catch.

Camp and trail clearing adventurers!

On Saturday afternoon I spied clothing bags, camp supplies and trail clearing gear being moved towards our little camper.  This could only mean camping at Gardner RD and North County trail clearing!  

Tail mutts stay close by to assure they'll get along.

At Gardner road, first thing is weeds are knocked down
to help reduce the bug count.

Then camp gets set up and a fire started.  

Trails mutts are all about camping ya know.
This is a NCT parking lot we commonly stay at. Its wonderful!

Then we made a quick excursion down to Tank creek to see
 the grass depth.

Oh ya, I got a drink here.

With all the rain we've had, the grass has been growing good.

The fire was stoked up for cooking.

Oh dear, this does looks good!  Sandy is doing toast as well.

It was a gorgeous summer evening.

Looks about done to me.

They sipped on Plum wine from Lake Annie Orchard.
Huuummmmm good.

Our buddy Dean came by to visit!  He scratches me some.

Then I spied a mouse.

The next morning I was ready to go! Even though the owls and coyotes made a racket all night long.

The Tank Creek grass is being cut down.

Sandy's knocking them weeds-n-trees down.

We got about 3/4 of a mile done today.

 

 

Now we're back to camp and packing again.

It's been quite a day on the trail and my eyes are getting heavy.

Just down the road we stopped to see this sign.
A gal went missing near here in 1993.

This is her picture up close.
She looks friendly but her story makes me sad.

On the way home, we stopped for a brief adventure near Twin Lakes.

Wyandotte falls!   We'd never been here before.

They were roaring and scary, but pretty.

Maybe we can ski here this coming winter! I love winter.

Church kids and adults!

If you follow my blog, you should know my pack doesn't get me out to socialize much.

Oh good!   I always find friendly kids and adults here!

Ya, I love Jean. She specifically requests me to visit!

Everyone should run their fingers through my coat. 

Getting to socialize some, gets me cranked up.

I love little boys too.

Oh Bethany, I've not see you in so long.
