Dog friendly hikes and exploring, mostly around New England. Our Adventures includes: waterfalls, the beach, conservation land, lighthouses, state parks, the woods, the mountains, statues, and castles.
This weekend Wilma, Gus, and I went on long local walks, in order to give me time to catch up on the endless leaves and my yard. We were lucky that the weather was warmer than it could be this time of year. Wilma and Gus loved playing ball, running and chasing, sharing sticks, keep away with the balls and toys, and lounging in the sun. It really was a refreshing weekend although I only have fifteen bags done, and still many more to go. I figured I would share some fun photos of this perfect pair, enjoying being outside. Cheers to the endless leaves!
Today Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Harbor Connector Path, and some additional sections of the multi-use trail system in Salem, Massachusetts. The Harbor Connector Path is the location of the temporary “Sculpture Garden”.
We had a sunny Adventure to the Harbor Connector Path. Today I decided to do some local walks and exploring with this pathway being the only new location of the day. I accidentally found it and thought it looked like an interesting place to take a stroll. The path went along the water, marsh, through a park, and even by a beach. I was especially drawn to this walkway by the sculptures, such a fun feature. The trail was reasonably busy with runners, walkers, bikers, and dog walkers. It was a beautiful Fall day with the sun out and shining. So glad we could check out this Trail Network in Salem today (this blog will not be rated).

I have decided to make some changes to my Throwback section. This is partly because I have had the blog for about three years and each week I have posted an Adventure from before I started the blog. This has become more challenging between finding old photographs, and identifying the location. Although I will still be adding some here and and there I thought I would also use the Throwback Adventure to share past Adventures I have posted. I have new followers, and of course not every follower has been able to view all blogs. This Throwback blog will also allow me an opportunity to share special memories of my boys, Shadow and Buster who have passed. They began my life of wonderful adventures with my rescues, and will be furever in our hearts!!
Today’s Adventure is from three years ago at Winter Island Park in Salem, Massachusetts. I took this Adventure with Shadow and Wilma. We enjoyed playing on the beach, posing with the holiday decorations, wandering the trails, and exploring the Fort. Looking at this old blog I had a flashback of how Wilma always used to get down low waiting for Shadow to return if he was in the water or far away…always ready to pounce and play. Special memories of this pair! I will have to return to Winter Island at some point in the future. Below you will see two photo highlights, and you can also click below to see the full original blog.
On Thursday Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Devil’s Hopyard State Park in East Haddam, Connecticut. Devil’s Hopyard State Park is a 1,000-acre park that includes: hiking trails, a covered bridge, camping, picnic areas, and Chapman Falls. There are endless tales about the title of this park, but none have been verified.
We had a refreshing Adventure to Devil’s Hopyard State Park, one of our several Adventures of the day. I had been there once many years ago with Shadow and Wilma but have had difficulty gathering photographs from that day. I was pleased to arrive to find few visitors and off we went. We first arrived at Chapman Falls, just gorgeous. I do not recall it being so large and flowing, so I was quite pleased to see this lovely, roaring site. We enjoyed the area for some time before heading down the trail. From there we explored the pond, covered bridge, and various trails in the park. I was surprised to see some pleasant colors leftover from Fall. It was a perfect Autumn Day for a hike. So glad I could return to Devil’s Hopyard State Park and Chapman Falls today (Rating: 4).

Today’s Adventure is a Throwback Adventure of a Throwback Adventure (haha) as Shadow, Buster and I Adventured to Philippe Park before I started this blog. This Adventure took place in Safety Harbor, Florida back in 2010 when we resided in Tampa. I remember loving this Adventure, exploring, sinking in mud, and posing for Christmas photos! I have attached two photographs below, and will also list the link if you want to see and read more about this sunny Adventure.

The weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy. We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven. It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world. We were devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020. These two precious boys boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.
Today’s photograph is another photograph from our recent trip to Camden, Maine. I had not blogged about it as I had somewhat recently, but still took many photographs in this gorgeous little town. This photograph highlights the coastal beauty of Camden, as they pose by the sea. Here they are Wilma and Gus:

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus in Camden, Maine from this weekend. I did not blog about Camden this weekend as I have blogged about it somewhat recently. However I always love exploring Camden and took too many photographs of the pups in this beautiful town. Here they are posing grandly:
Yesterday Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Acadia National Park in Maine. Acadia National Park is a Park in Northeastern Maine that encompasses half of Mount Desert Island, and also is situated on the Schoodic Peninsula and Isle au Haut. It is 47,000 acres and popular for fall foliage seekers, winter skiing, spring fishing and hiking.
We had a gorgeous Adventure to Acadia National Park. I was thrilled that the weathermen predicted the weather incorrectly, so although some of the day was dark and cloudy there was hardly a drop of rain. On our Adventure our stops included: Cadillac Mountain, Jordan Pond, the Ocean Path, Otter Cliffs, and Sand Beach. We spent over five hours walking, and also explored every little area we could find. It was a beautiful day, and much warmer then expected. Acadia National Park is definitely one, if not the most beautiful spots in New England. I look forward to our next visit (Rating: 5).

Today’s Throwback Adventure is from the Erving State Forest in Erving, Massachusetts. I Adventured to Erving State Forest with Shadow, Wilma, and my Uncle back in October 2018. We had a lovely Fall walk and enjoyed wonderful company. We walked along the trail and also spent some time on the beach, the dogs enjoying some time playing and digging. Great memories from yet another special Adventure. Please see below for the link and two photo highlights.

Today’s Weekly Video is one I just adore of Wilma and Gus playing ball. Once Wilma let Gus steal her ball and they began playing keep away I knew it was true love. Now they love playing keep away with the ball. It is just a small clip of what has become just about a daily activity. I really cannot get enough of this sweet pair. Here’s to some ball:
