Friday June 19, 2020 Baxter and I got out this morning “on time” resulting in a glorious walk by ourselves on Trinidad Head. We don’t have actual assigned time slots but the other fur baby owners also seem to be keeping a self prescribed schedule which paces us all apart. This routine makes for a …
Thursday June 18, 2020 Instead of walking the headland today I opted to do some much needed work in our backyard garden. My maternal grandmother used to say that if you needed to work something out, dig in the dirt. Well it turns out grandma was right! My daily walks meet my workout needs both …
Wednesday June 17, 2020 Baxter and I were running late this morning. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but when you are amongst people who keep a regular schedule it is. Especially if there are dogs involved. We are among a number of people who regularly walk Trinidad Head in the mornings. Many walk …

Sunday June 14, 2020 For today’s walk my husband and I took a gamble that the crowds would be at the beach instead of heading out to Elk Head. It was a gorgeous Sunday and my prediction was correct. Once we walked past the College Cove beach trailhead we had the remaining headland trail almost …
Friday, June 12, 2020 It’s a Friday in June and I haven’t been on my favorite local beach, Old Home Beach, in awhile so today I opted for that beach walk. I left Baxter at home so I could take my time and also get in some beach combing. Friday’s are generally a great day …
Wednesday June 10, 2020 Baxter and I were back on the headland today. Pulling support from my light weight high-top hiking boots, I was able to take our spin around the headland with no problem or knee irritation. I was worried earlier this week that I might have jeopardized my ability to do so because …
Tuesday June 9, 2020 Never in my life had I thought a phrase like body mechanics would become so important to me. Our bodies have memory and mine is sensitive to the damage I’ve done to it in the past. From just landing wrong to horse related injuries to misstepping in holes created by our …
Saturday June 6, 2020 My Childhood hero’s were British Primatologist Jane Goodall, Cultural Anthropologist Margaret Mead, my maternal grandmother Pauline Michanco and our neighbor Ms. Ruth Winchell. My maternal grandmother Parascevia Hrycak (maiden name) or Pauline Michanco (married name) made a big impact on me as a child. She was a survivor and an independent …

Saturday June 6, 2020 It’s always weird not having my trusty sidekick on a walk with me. But today is Saturday and the flood gates of tourism seem to have opened. Alaska was among the array of out-of-state license plates I saw today. On the upside, a walk without Baxter in tow is almost like …
Thursday June 4, 2020 Baxter and I walked our usual route as the fog sifted in and out. Our timing today was less than desirable; lots and lots of dogs out. It’s June and people and their fur babies are definitely getting out more. What that means for me is that my trusty sidekick’s behavior …
