The Book of Ramblings

Yesterday we went out to Franklin, NH again. We've been out there 3 or 4 times together now. It's one of the towns David is doing his dissertation on, so we keep going back. This time he wanted to walk along the opposite side of the river from where the path is and try to get some shots of the (paper) mill foundations over there. That meant there was a lot of tromping through underbrush and trees, and climbing over things, including the old foundations. It was tough going, but we had a lot of fun. Well, at least until the end. David went on ahead and I stayed with Dahlia (you didn't think we left her behind did you?) because the area was too precarious for her and he came back a muddy mess. One shoe got totally sucks into mud and he ended up losing his balance and falling. His pants from the knee to the bottom were all covered in mud, as was his butt, the lower part of his shirt, and his hands. LOL Luckily I had the blanket I use for dogs in my car, so we were able to cover up the seat and head to Walmart where he found a cheap pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt to change into.
