Today is the day I promised Dayzee a long, long walk. The weather was nice, the sun was out, and I was going to walk her! So this afternoon we wandered over to Ken-O-Sha park and walked the trail.
We saw a lot of cool stuff - snakes, deer, even kitty cats!
Little did I know, however, that this particular trail did not appear to loop back on itself. I hadn't seen any trail maps along the way, or at the beginning, so i assumed that it was small. Wrong!
Dayzee and I continued on for quite some time until suddenly the path stopped - all that was before us was a dirt trail. Too stubborn to turn back, she and I walked on. Not long after we were deposited out into suburbia.
Now I've always been stubborn and insisted that I had at least a somewhat decent sense of direction. Ok mom and dad, you're right. I dont. You win. I had no idea where I was and I wasnt so sure I could navigate the random maze of trails back.
So I took out my trusty cell phone, complete with GPS and had it look up my location. I was almost two miles away from where I had started - by car.
So through suburbia Dayzee and I walked, all the way from Union Ct SE back to 32nd and KZ (approx 1.8 miles). It took awhile, and Dayzee was exhausted, but we got back.
All in all I think she enjoyed it - and I know I should do this sort of exercising more so...
