2012 Adventure XVIII
Date of Adventure: Sun. 20 Aug 2012
Type of Adventure: Hike
Place of Adventure: Shrewsbury
Length of Adventure, miles: 1.5
Length of Adventure, hours: 2.75 hours
Companion(s): Colyn
Weather: Sunny, warm temps in 70s, very dry.
Other Adventurers Encountered: A group of 3 hikers with another large dog
Notes of Interest: 1. This is the adventure when Colyn tore his ACL. He was hiking along just fine, then suddenly sat down and laid down. We were almost 1 mile out when it happened, and it took us over an hour of limping to get back to the trail head. I tried to carry him, but I could only go about 20 feet at a time. Mostly, I just used his harness to help support his weight as much as possible. He was an angel while I was manhandling and carrying him. at 24 hours into the injury, he is already fed up with the confinement and I haven't even brought home the crate yet. I foresee very few adventures in our near future.

Date of Adventure: Tues. 13 Aug.
Type of Adventure: Kayaking
Place of Adventure: Goshen Damn, Moosalamoo
Length of Adventure, miles: approx. 2
Length of Adventure, hours: 2
Weather: Slightly overcast, temps in 70s, not too humid, very light breeze.
Companions: Mom, Ash, Colyn
Other Adventurers Encountered: A large group of kids were on the their way out when we arrived, a couple people were fishing, and a pair of kayakers arrived as we were leaving.
Notes of Interest: 1. We saw no wildlife at all. It was rather disappointing. 2. Colyn was mostly well-behaved. He completely ignored the noisy, obnoxious children. He did seem reluctant to swim at first, but he joined us after awhile.

2012 Adventure XVI
Date of Adventure: 31 July 2012
Type of Adventure: Hike
Place of Adventure: Moosalamoo
Length of Adventure, miles: 2.5?
Length of Adventure, hours: 1.5
Weather: Hot, sunny
Companions: Colyn
Other Adventurers Encountered: A couple people in the parking lot
Notes of Interest: 1. We hiked a longer loop and I found water sources for Colyn. 2. Several bridges were "closed" from Irene. The bridges were intact and appeared fine, but the signs said they were closed for safety. So, I clambered around them. I think it might have been safer for me to just use the bridges. 3. We stayed until dark and watched the stars come out. It was amazing. I intended to stay until pitch dark, but I forgot the bug spray.
