I found the state park that I was looking for today. It's about 16 miles down a country highway from the freeway. Imagine loud impatient pickups behind you and a logging truck or two and you will get the picture. Perfect day for a walk beside a river- river steeply down beside us to the left. Walking buddy is worth every penny I pay her. She kept hold of delighted Moxe. I bet her arm is tired now. Horses are allowed on certain trails. We saw a lady and her daughter by a horse trailer. There were two lovely horses tied to the trailer. I kept nosy Rufus busy so he didn't notice the big guys. Summer weather again today. We stopped at a local fast food place on the way home. Buddy ordered what turned out to be a huge vanilla ice cream cone. I shared a couple of corn dogs with the pups. I challenged myself. I have been dreading the weed trimmer. It is a long monster.. I rested a bit then took it out to the front fence and mowed down the huge purple weed mess there. Of course that left a thick layer of herbal junk on the sidewalk so I swept that up and bagged it. It will go into one of the growing boxes for mulch. Can anybody say tired boys and girls? I hope you can see the photo.

Did you go to Lewis and Clark State Park? It has an equestrian area to camp and a lot of horse trails. Rainbow Falls? There are a few more not too far. All are so beautiful.

@Ineeddentures Both dogs appeared to have a good time. Hubby still talks about going to Scotland. Not sure how but his spirit is all there with the idea.

@snowy22315 Thanks. Very much. I was starting to get a complex about the dumb Weeder. I just need to keep using it and getting the feel of it.

I'm sure the puppies loved the day out just as much as the humans did! Lovely photo, btw.

You certainly had quite a worthwhile day! I wish you lived here, Lenore. Martin Nature Park is a beautiful area to visit. In school, we’d go a couple of times a year, and everyone looked forward to it.

I love your photo - and you're doing so well being so active. I hope you don't overdo it.
