Our dog, Astrid, was out of control with energy yesterday so I decided we were going for a long hike at a nearby state park. It was a beautiful day and this dog just needed a looooonnng walk, so that is what we did. Again, a beautiful day out as evident in these pictures I took.
A fantastic fall day. We did a two hour hike on various trails throughout the park. I was worn out, but I'm not sure the dog was. LOL!
After the hike, I stopped at a McDonald's for an Oreo McFlurry because I'm an adult and I can. LOL! It was a delicious McFlurry. :-)
Moral of this story? State parks are wonderful places and you should take advantage of them, particularly in the fall when the leaves are turning and the outside temperature is not as hot. You likely have a state park not too far from you and admittance is generally low cost. Where I live, the entrance fee is $7, but for $50 you can get an annual pass, which we did at the start of 2020. With COVID-19 preventing us from doing many other things we normally would have done, we've spent more time at state parks this year than in any year in the past. We definitely got our money's worth out of the annual pass.
