Let's Hit The Trail!

Woo, everypup and everycat, it's me, Dave.  As Zim told you the other day, we went on a TON of adventures the other day!  We got to go to one of our very favorite places - the Hudson Trail!  Want to come along with us, via photos!?!  Let's hit the trail!

Here we are at one of the entrances:

I look sad there because I wanted to snarf stuff up off the ground and Mom kept telling me not to.  Zim was striking poses up on the chunk of limestone, trying to buy me some time, but Mom was watching me WAY too closely!  Woo.

Mom got this cool action shot of Zimmie as we started down the trail:

Zim - happy to be out on a really cool adventure!

Dad was with us, too, so Mom kept trying to jump ahead of us to get a "good" picture. We tried our best not to let that happen.

"Whatever you do, don't look at Mom!"
"Roger!"

Ha woo.

Here we are, a bit further along Hudson Trail:

"Hey!  Look at that, Dave!"
"Where?!?"

Then I saw it! It was really cool!

"Do you see it?!!?"

Look down the trail a bit - and up! Right in the middle of this shot:

Here's another look!

It was a big, beautiful hawk! I think he was hunting mousies. We've never seen one there, so it was pretty exciting. Mom wished she had the good camera instead of the iPhone!

Anyway, when we got to the end of that part of the trail, instead of posing on the rocks by the big road, Zim jumped up on one by the sign:

I did a little better in the "snarfing stuff off the ground" department than I did at the other end of the trail. Ha woo!

Thanks for coming with us! I hope you had fun!

Luv,
Dave

You boys always go on the bestest adventures! That was pretty cool to see a hawk too. Hope he wasn't going for your squirrel friend's nuts!

That was a good adventure. It looks a lot colder at your place than mine at the moment.
