A Recent adventure

We had a great time.  It was a trial run with both dogs and a refitted trailer - new wheels - upsized to a 12 inch hub with fenders to accommodate, added trailer jack, and then of course a solar powered battery system to support the inside fans and any added DC plug ins. 

The dogs fit in quite nicely into the back of the wagon while pulling along my teardrop - took the quieter roads to Sandbanks - took about 6 hours from Guelph, then camped there for 3 nights.  It was beautiful weather though cool just before the long weekend in May.  Glad for the cooler nights - both dogs fit into the trailer with me and needed to throw off covers a few times - a bit on the warm side even with a window open.  Those fans will be useful come the summer.

I am deciding to leave Harnett behind as long as the neighbours, Elaine and family, can take him.  I would be selfish to bring him along knowing the distance and his age - plus with Molly it would be an accident waiting to happen.  Such different energy levels, and with both set to be wanderers I wouldn't be able to relax much on trails I don't know.  Holding both by leads would definitely be difficult on rocks.

So I will enjoy this Month with both of them locally - maybe take Harnett out canoeing :)

Some pics from our trip this past week.  You should see Molly swim!
