Day 295 - October 22

We found our new favorite place to take the dog for a walk today! We've really missed the trail walking we did in Kodiak.... living only minutes away from a state park and an even shorter distance from a nice, easy trail, we hardly ever walked on actual roads unless we were short on time. Here, we're in the land of suburbia - named housing developments and sidewalks abound, but there are few close-by trails.

I've known about the trails at one of the parks Michaela and I go to for quite a while, but we'd never actually gotten to them until today. Now, at least in the months when it's cool enough to walk at a normal time of day (ie, not 10pm when it's still too hot to walk but one of us takes the dog anyway), we might try to get out to the park more often than not to hit these trails. The only downsides are that Jason is stuck with a kid in Kelty - though she loves it - and we have to drive about 15 minutes to get there. But, as long as one of you (ehem, Jason) doesn't forget the dog's leash at home, it's not a terrible drive.

Fred was in his trail-walking, other-dog-smell-sniffing, squirrel-tracking glory, though. So I think it's worth the drive and the Kelty.
