| Dog-Related Notes: |
Dogs should be leashed in this park. Owners, please be aware of your dog. Just because your dog is friendly, does not mean that someone else's dog wants your dog in her face. Be mindful in passing and when you re requested to control your dog, do not.. I repeat, DO NOT shout my dog is friendly. It's about your dog being safe as much as the other dog feeling comfortable. No one wants a negative confrontation. When an owner tells you that their dog is not friendly, they are doing you a favor and giving you time to control your "Friendly" dog. Otherwise, this is an easy hike for dogs. |

The forecast was a crap show for up North and I was not about to waste the trip. So, I stayed local and low today. Just needed to get out there and walk with my dog. Enjoyed the mild temps with a slight chill in the air. Trails are a sloppy mess though and more rain is expected tonight. |
