The drive was beautiful, windows down, sunroof open and the radio blaring some driving music. I love driving through the country side, just a few short minutes and all of a sudden all the buildings and the look of a city is gone, just fields of corn, farms, wild fields, open spaces of nothing, old farmhouses boarded up and abandoned. Some of the roads were almost vacant of cars so it was beautiful. Boone had his head hanging out the window for most of the drive down the empty country roads, something he normally doesn't do unless the car is stopped or going very, very slow. So he obviously enjoyed all the smells.
Had to pay to park, that was a bit of a downer for me but luckily I had change and off we went. We spent an hour and a half wondering around the trails, came upon several other groups of people who most had to stop and say hello to Boone and comment on how he seemed to be enjoying himself. Boone was just a goof out there, playing in the pond, chasing dragonflies, butterflies, frogs, minnows, birds and rolling in something I suspected was poop as I couldn't actually see it due to the tall grass on either side of the cut trail. Even came across what looked like the remains of a house. Boone had to stay on leash as per the rules of the park and the fact that they were patrolling the trails in little golf cart type things, of course you heard them before seeing them so when there wasn't anyone around I did let go of his leash. Hey the leash was on it just wasn't in my hand... the rules stated nothing about that just that all dogs had to be leash and under control which he was. I could have spent the whole day out there, but the bugs were nasty and I had only paid for 2 hours of parking. So we headed back home, Boone had a quickie swim in the pond, and then hopped into the car muddy and wet. I had placed towels on the back seat for such an occasion but he decided this wouldn't do and shoved them all to one side so he could get the back seat good and dirty.
