The weekend weather cooperated fully, giving us clear blue skies, relatively wind free and definitely an opportunity to explore new running grounds. We loaded Ryder and Arya into the car and drove to Scanlon Creek Conservation Area. A new place for us to explore. As with most Conservation areas there is a map at the start of the trails, but a map is of no use when you are hiking unless you have a copy with you, so as in the past when arriving at new trailheads, I took a photograph of the map and we were able to refer to it when we came to trail markers (the Nikon D90 camera has a nice big screen for viewing images so coupled with the zoom button we were able to view the map for reference points). Back home I will download a copy of the trail map to keep in the car for the future. We elected to take the longer route around the lake and it was well worth it. I got a lot of photo opportunities with both the dogs and the scenery, some of which I will attach to this post.
