“I could never resist the call of the trail.” Buffalo Bill Starting at this point on NCR requires us to come early. This small lot fills up fast. It’s 7:30 which I consider late….even though it takes us a 30 minute drive to get here. Only a few cars present and no one on theContinue reading “NCR – Phoenix rd to Sparks rd”

“Sometimes, the shortest path between two points is serpentine.” Christopher Benfey Got up early today as usual. Thanks to Mag. Got to the visitor center at 8, even though this environmental area only opens at 9am. Since the gate was open we took liberty to drive up the road and park Yoda in our usualContinue reading “Soldiers delight – Serpentine trail”

“It’s all about convenience. You have remote access to everything.” Kevin Marquess Convenience = location close to home won out today. We have parked at the main parking area again on Eagle dr.

His dad let him out at 5 in the morning so in my opinion there was no reason for waking me up at 7am. He did anyway…. This morning we’ll check out Lake Roland ParkContinue reading “Sleepy Saturday”

It’s Friday! Time to go make stories for Monday. Unfortunately that’s all we gonna accomplish today thanks for the packed schedule. We only did a super short walk and forgot to record it….this morning was a mess! But here is a short video of Mag enjoying high grass. TTT = Ta-ta ’till tomorrow! Have funContinue reading “Woo hoo! As promised.”

“HAPPY THURSDAY! Sorry, but I am saving my “woo-hoo!” for friday.” We are sort of fresh and ready take on today, after a whopping – less than – 6 hours of sleep. I was trapping a mouse in our bedroom – this is a first in 19 years being in this house – until midnight.Continue reading “Thursday. It’s Friday eve!”
