Car Camping!

This was our little spot for 2 nights - Dolly Copp Campground near Mt Washington

Here's another view - we didn't have this view, but I'm sorta glad since
our campsite had more privacy.... this was a big field

The campsite was beautiful and had a great combo of  water, mtns, green space and trails.

Reese did really well and LOVED hiking with us!

SEE?! are the views amazing??

The water levels were really low...
but we didn't realize how this would impact us until later.....

The trails were lovely too - very little brush, ticks, etc.
It was truly  a beautiful hike!

BB took all these pics, by the way (Thanks, BB!!), so she insisted on some almost post-card like photos
..... maybe this one will go on the holiday card this year?

And just to show her smallness..... can you see her on the  fallen tree?

funny pic #1

and #2....

And then Reese decided he needed to get wet :-)

........cooled off his paws.......

....had a drink......

but mostly splashed around and watched the river!

This is for Matt's online pic for Liberty..... he wanted something less formal

LUNCH!
I should probably mention, that while we hiked up following the signs, we decided to take a bit of an adventure on the way back down and ended up back-tracking the adventure until we got back to the original trail and went back to camp. In our defense, we were on a labeled trail... it was just meant for skiing and not hiking. Ooops!

And now the low water.... so we wanted to go swimming, but it wasn't really deep enough.

So we hung out, soaked tired feet

Reese got really wet - but had trouble with the uneven rocky bottom that he couldn't always see.

I really wanted him to be able to swim, but no luck on this trip.
He got in 2 good plunks of his front feet and that was it.
We really needed more water!

But a cook-out and S'mores was a great top-off!!
