On the way back from the Bangor, Maine, the other day I decided to take a detour. In the interest of exercise for Lola and adventure for my daughter and I we dumped Interstate 95 and opted for Route 202. A Twitter tip had mentioned swimming holes along that route and man did we find [...]

Last year around this time I took the Lola dog to meet my friend Dave Headley in Jaffrey, NH. Dave is a former colleague, fellow photographer and one of my closest friends. Dave said knew of a rail trail that he thought would be a great place for a dog walk, and he was hoping [...]

It seems so simple, it’s just walking the dog. Lets face it, we don’t all do it, every day. We don’t have 8 glasses of water every day either, that doesn’t make us bad people. So our dogs live with the environment we provide for them. If we are busy, go-go-go’ers, then they are ready-ready-ready [...]

Our goal was to raise $100 in 24 hours and we surpassed that nearly doubling the gift (thanks to all our supporters!!). The best part was being able to meet so many other dog-poeple and enjoy [...]

Lola and I discovered that the Rail Trial we walk from Manchester, east-side over to the west-side, actually goes all the way to Glen Lake in Goffstown. I wasn’t sure how far it went and didn’t want to worry about circling back, so one day a week or so ago I had my daughter drop [...]

Lola and I had the best walk along the New Boston recreation trail last weekend. There is a parking area (indicated as our start and end point) and the trail picks up on either side of the road. The trail is very well maintained and wide enough to ride side by side bicycles along nearly [...]

One of my favorite spots to go with Lola in the swimming months is the Conservation Center in Concord, NH. On the map where we start and stop the route is a small parking area, then we follow the trail and stop a few times along the way to swim. We almost always meet new [...]
