Today I went for a walk with a very happy black dog.

Pompeii, A Very Happy Black Dog

She and I walked at a county forest a few miles from our house.

It has lots of hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobile trails.

Nine Mile Forest

I couldn't believe that Pompeii and I were the only ones there.

No other car in the parking lot, no other person on the trails.

It's the first time that's ever happened.

I bet people thought it would be too muddy.

Yeah...well...they were probably right.
