No good singletrack in the area, so we set off on a rail trail, the Great Allegheny Passage, which is part of the C. & O (Chesapeake and Ohio) rail trail. It was so pretty - just flat and relatively straight, but along the river the whole way and under big leafy trees. We brought the pups for the first 2 miles, but Sunday's little legs couldn't keep up, so we brought them both back to the RV while we headed out for another 20 miles without them.
Upon our return, Jen took Finn out for a ride by himself. 4 miles of all-out running, with a couple of dips in the river to cool off. Damn, that dog can run!!
But no, that wasn't the end of pup adventures - after that, we took them both down to the boat dock to swim. There was a flock of about 20 geese swimming there - both dogs went into full-on herding mode, and swam out to the geese, trying to circle them. Luckily for us, even when they are heading, both dogs do an immediate about-face when Doug uses his "commando voice", which he did every time they looked like they were going to get attacked by angry geese. They both survived their adventures and lived to herd another day. Video here: Herding geese in Pennsylvania: HERE
The rest of the afternoon was filled with travel planning and some work stuff for Jen. Tomorrow, off to State College, PA.
