In one smooth motion, Erica opened the hatch door of her car with her left hand and clipped the rope lead onto the collar of her dog Spark with the other hand. Despite the dog's squat, mutt legs, he jumped down from the SUV and stood obediently by her side. With her shoes neatly double knotted and her lightweight jacket tied around her waist, she studied the oversized framed map at the trailhead. She noted that the beginning was a moderate climb up the mountain, left at the first split would take them across the river, and they'd have an easy meandering loop back to the parking lot - about five miles total distance, which was within the range for this seasoned duo.
Love this one Megan! I've been there...so scary...but I so enjoyed where you took this one! And the photo at the end is just a sweet treasure! Thank you!
Relief! So glad they found their way back to the trail and a friendly fire to warm themselves by. Great story. Thanks again for a mental trip back to Maine in the middle of my day.

When you set out on a path, you just never know who or what you might encounter along the way.
Lovely story!
