As the snow is melting, but still present in some places, I'm expanding my places to walk again. In winter, it becomes limited as to places to walk because of the snow. The past few days, it's been down to the little corner store and across the road, up into the golf course. And one day, I walked the gravel road that goes along side the lake. Another favorite trail that really gives me a good work-out has so much melting snow and water running down it, it looks like a stream...right on the trail, so that's no good yet.
Today, I think I'll see how the trial is that goes along the lake and you can go down right onto the beach too. The trail goes through a pine forest and camping ground and is very beautiful. But it may be snowy still or very wet. If it's really bad, I will probably go elsewhere. I noticed the museum parking lot where I park for this walk is still full of snow, so I don't know. But here goes nothing...I'm on my way. The dogs are being "dominant" and telling me it's time for a walk.:rofl1: The nice thing about this time of year is there's no one else around. I will be taking my newly purchased bear pepper spray along just in case.
Do you have to modify your places to walk because of the seasonal differences? I even do a little bit in summer when there are people camping at that camp ground. They have to be on a leash then. (not the people...my dogs. lol) Now and in fall, they can scamper ahead a little bit. All the cabins that are along this trail are basically summer cabins and no one much is around now. But they will be later. Then leashes go on.
