Of Bicycles and Dogs

It's getting close to the end of the week, and we'll have to move on soon. But we wanted to get a taste of the local area before we left, so we searched out a bicycle trail nearby and decided that a little fresh air in the foothills of the Catskills would be the perfect thing for the day.

The Orange County Heritage Trail runs some 9+ miles along the now abandoned rail bed of the New York and Erie Railroad from Goshen, NY, to Monroe, NY, through the village of Chester. We elected to start in the middle at Chester, where we parked at the Chester Historical Society Building (the old railroad depot) and rode toward Goshen, about 5 miles away.

Couldn't resist a selfie……

The weather was perfect again today, and we barely broke a sweat on the ride. We stopped at the American House in Chester for an ice cream sundae just in case we had burned too many calories, however!

We returned to the motorhome, picked up Sasha, and took off for the dog park in Warwick, just 4 miles away. We though that after being cooped up all day yesterday and some of today that she would like to get outside and run.

Not so much.

Donna did her best to get the mutt to play, but all Sasha did was destroy the new tennis ball we had brought! Now that we're back home, she's running up and down the motorhome like it is a racetrack…what's up with that?
