Thursday June 25, 2020 Today’s walk was once again in the misty and balmy morning fog. The trees were dripping like a drizzling light rain due to the heavy moisture in the air. However, things seemed to have gone back to normal. Unlike yesterday the song birds and crows were present and the fog horn …

Wednesday June 24, 2020 Baxter and I had an interesting walk this morning. It was a foggy morning but frankly kinda eerie. The fog is awesome because it seems to slow down the tourists. This morning was very quiet on the headland, literally. What was odd was that the usual song birds were not out. …
Monday June 22, 2020 Baxter and I did an extra lap around the headland this morning because it felt good but also to burn off the very tasty strawberry rhubarb pie I made and ate yesterday in celebration of Father’s Day. It’s my favorite type of pie made from fresh picked rhubarb we grow in …
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 …
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 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 …
