An easy stroll

 After yesterday's challenging mountain adventure we were game to have a relaxing day.

We headed to Saranac Lake - about 30 minutes away - to take an easy walk on the relatively new Adirondack Rail Trail.  

The trail was busy with bikers of all sorts and people walking the trail.  Although the trail itself is easy, there were lots of sites and smells for the dogs to take in.

After several miles we were back at the vehicle to head back from lunch.

Then we jumped in the kayaks.  The dogs relaxed as we paddled the entire shore of the pond that our campsite was on.

We saw Little Haystack, the mountain we climbed on Monday.

Then we got back and the dogs were hungry.

Have you ever done anything really dumb?  Well I certainly did.  I left the dog's travel food bag in the screened in room last night.  I didn't notice it was missing until Booker finished up the food already in the bowl.  We looked all over and then I started exploring the woods.  

Sure enough....

I found it,  

😡

I felt SO stupid and angry with myself!

This meant that we had to head back to the nearest town - 30 miles away - to get them food.  Fortunately they had a Tractor Supply so I could get some higher quality food.  

I was upset with myself, and it cost us some time and money - but all things considered it was not a disaster.

 

Then we spent our last night by a roaring fire.
