Lately things have been coming it twos. Took our two dogs for a good long walk at Bender Park for the first time. More on that later. Walked my aunt and uncle's two German shepherds at a local park also. Took care of our neighbors two cats while they're out of town. Two sets of dogs that came in twos, two parks in one day, and two needy cats.
The walk in Bender was really nice. It was still dry and cool right near the beach. The paths were nicely done also. Because I had the dogs we weren't supposed to go down to the beach so we stuck to the upper hill. The prairie looked like it was nearing the last of it's summer green-ness.


We ended up at a dead end at the big noisy power-plant like I expected. I like looking at the blocked off roads that cut through to the lake. These roads were blocked off about a quarter mile from the lake to keep people from driving off the cliff into the lake. Or so I would think. They've been barricaded for a good 10+ years I would assume. I forgot to take pictures of them, they're cooler if you're actually there, although it may not sound that exciting. Some people think that Fitzsimmons road is haunted and makes people have suicidal tendencies such as jumping off the cliff. But we just like it for walking. =]
Here is the result when we reached the end of the path. We took a water break, and even though they didn't really want to drink any I just dumped it on them to cool them off. Elsie wanted to sport a nice bandanna on our outing.
So to conclude our new walking experience, it was very nicely made, no garbage/litter, no people/cars around on top, and there were even dog waste baskets!
