12/2/13 City Forest

We woke to three inches of snow and Kelley waited ( sort of) patiently for me to shovel the drive ( she really likes snow and wanted us to be out in it) . I thought the trails at Perch Pond would be pretty so we drove out there. Parking area had not been plowed and there was a bank of snow across the entrance left from plowing the road. I really didn't want to deal with a stuck car so we didn't enter but headed for City Forest.

We started from the end of Kittredge Rd. and walked down to the pond- no place for Kelley to get in because of ice so we headed down the West Trail


Kelley was very excited by the snow and kept running ahead, stopping for me to catch up and then running ahead again.

We then met Pete and his dog Cadie


Kelley ran forward to meet them


And the dogs had a grand time. Kelley has not played this energetically with another dog in some time.













Eventually we had to move on. Kelley found some water to get into



We walked to the end of West Trail and then took the old rail bed





We then took an unnamed trail back to the West Trail to complete our loop



Kelley waiting for me to climb the hill back to our start



So, a good hike with lots of fun for Kelley . 2  3/4 hours

    Hi Kim- it was good for me to see because Kelley has not done as much of that lately. It must be hard to lose a dog.
