August 3, 2015:outdoor adventure Monday

Back when we lived in northern New York, every August we would look forward to Dog Day at the Adirondack Museum, which was always the first Saturday of August. The museum would have special exhibits and demonstrations about dogs in the Adirondacks (one year we watched a sheep herding demonstration), and best of all, dogs were welcome at the museum on that day. The photo above shows our canine head of household Cookie exploring an old train at the museum on August 1, 2009. Since the museum is near Blue Mountain, we usually hiked the mountain in the afternoon if the weather was good.
