Walking Dinner!!

Run, Charlotte, run......

   I decided to go back to the Drumlin Trail that we had been on last, and give it another go.  I wanted to see how far we could go this time.  Turns out that it meets up with another spot that we had been on, coming from the other direction.

 

 

   So off we go, and it wasn't long before we passed two couples with a young child.  They were going to sit on the bridge for a while.  So Charlotte and I continued to the spot where we smelled the skunk.  I started chatting with Charlotte, so that if there was a skunk, it would hear us and hopefully, amble off.  That was the plan. We did smell a hint of skunk, but that was all, so the plan must have worked! 

 

   The mosquitos were getting much more aggressive, so we upped our pace.  The scenery was so beautiful, but I didn't want to stop and take as many pics, because of the mosquitos.  By the time we met up with the place we had been before, the mosquitos were relentless!!  We turned around and really punched up our walking pace!!  But, alas, it was to no avail!!  Charlotte and I were being eating alive!!!  It was painful and we just pursued forward.  We did get a little relief when we were on the bridge, but had to hit the woods for a short while till we got to the car.  I had huge welts all over!!  And so did poor little Charlotte!!  It was a shower and EmergenC for me, when we got home.  I will not go on walks again, till I have some kind of bug protection for Charlotte and I.  Period.
