Hey, while Dorry's standing right there, can you ask her for me, is she scared of bears too??

Have you ever gone camping in Maine?

The last time I took her with me she forthwith lost her shoe in the mud! 😂

No we haven't! I'd love to but the rest of the family isn't so enthusiastic. 😂


message 1219: by Hannah (new)

Hannah Alane | 662 comments Do you enjoy hiking and camping? One of our favorite trails is in Turkey Run State Park in Indiana. For Indy being so flat, when you get to Turkey Run it's very hilly/mountainous! But there's one trail that runs in-between the walls of a glacier made canyon (I think the website said it was glacier made......well whatever it's a mini canyon). It's GORGEOUS!!!

I love hiking and would enjoy camping as well. I looked up Turkey Run and yes, it is beautiful!! Not the kind of scenery one expects in IN (I was born there)! Kinda reminds me of Flume Gorge in the White Mountains.

Joanna So I guess Ruth gets to ask another question, since she stumped us on her last one... 😄

I regret to say an abstinence from such ventures is necessitated due to an unfortunate occurrence, namely, that of sinking into mire and suffering the bereavement of my shoe. Apart from that, I would gladly accompany her on a daily constitutional, if there were no bears. As it is, I take my daily constitutional with a 15lb Cocker Spaniel puppy who is constantly on the move.

I think what I got out of that was no beard, which I wholeheartedly agree!!! 😂😂😂
