Hiking Vacation Day 4

So on this day we hiked at the park where our cabin be at coz as you mite has seened, there do be 20 miles of hiking trails at this park.  We came up with a loop wot capshured all of the hilites in 7.75 miles and I show them to you now.  So the hike started along the James River wot be furry seenik.  But on the way I had to stop and sniff these pritty red wildflowahs wot I has not seened anywhere else.

So now I be at the river.

Then we commed to Dixon Landing where you can put a boat in the river if'n you has one. We did not and thank dogness coz mom is known fur tipping boats ofur and that would be skeery.

Then there do be this place where you can come and make noms. We could has a big pawtay here. I do think all of Blogville could fit in here.

Then we camed to this gate to Tye River Overlook and it sayed that the horsies duss not be allowed.

So wot to do if'n you has a horsie with you?  Well across the way, there do be a place where you can tie horsies up thusly:

And then after the horsie peeples has goned to the Tye River Overlook and commed back, they can get back on their horsies thusly:

Those park peeples, always thinking... But seeing as I is a dog and not a horsie, I is allowed so let's go to the Tye River Overlook.

OMD that do be a bootifuls seenik.  There do be some kewl benches fur mom to sit on while she gibbed me my Power Bones fur energies fur my inner athlete.

Then a little resting coz it do be a furry bootiful and peaceful place where you want to hang out fur a bit.

So then we went on ofur to Branch Pond:

And after that we passed by the park office wot the park ranger be at.

Then rite there on the hiking trail I did find me a noo furrend.  Mom looked her up on the innerwebs when we got back home to Noo Joisey and this duss appear to be an Eastern Painted Turtle with pritty colorings. The turtle did not run from us and let us take her pikshure but OMD, I think she rilly needs a pawdicure, no?

So it woz anudder rilly hawt day and when we got back to the cabin I took a nap rite next to my water bowl just so it be handy if'n I needed a quick drink.

Mom had lots of water along fur me on the hike but it woz so hawt I needed even more.

I hope I is not blasting you all with too many bloggies all at one time.  I wanted to do as much as I could while it be fresh in my memmeries and afore mom needs the pooter fur her werks tomorrow.  I is only half way thru - we did A LOT of hikes!
