On Tuesday, I took Charlie to Seven Bends State Park for a short walk. One of the nice things about taking him there is that there are picnic tables and benches where I can rest if I'm feeling tired, like I have been all week. He can continue to sniff the ground around the bench while I’m resting. Beagles like to sniff a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s necessary for their mental health.
I wondered about a small building under construction next to the parking lot. Then I remembered that Ranger Tom said they are going to offer canoe — or was it kayak? — rentals this summer. This structure is near the ramp where you bring your boat out of the water, so logically it could be the designated return point for rented gear.

On the way home, I saw this sign in someone’s yard.
Good sky.
ReplyDelete.due process, amen sister!
ReplyDeletePretty sky shot.
ReplyDeleteLovely area! Have you ever taken a kayak out!
ReplyDeleteNo, and at this stage in life, I don’t know if I’d be able to get back out of it.
DeleteKnow what you mean :) I definitely wouldn’t. The only time I took one was with my sister about 20 years ago.
DeleteSounds like a peaceful outing—glad there are spots to rest while Charlie explores! The new building makes sense if they're planning canoe or kayak rentals; it’ll be a great addition for summer.
ReplyDeleteMore signs like that are required - on every lawn in the country.
ReplyDeletePretty sky and lovely view of the river. Cute Charlie photo. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have such a lovely park, along a beautiful river.
ReplyDeleteCool that kayaks will be able to be rented.
ReplyDeletePretty photos. Charlie looks happy!
