NICE FIELDS!

I finished the mowing and some of the raking yesterday so I allowed myself to take Terri on a fun "exploring" run today. It was only 6 km and 7 minutes driving to my friend's farm. (We arrived at 7:30 P.M.) What marvelous tracking fields she has! Oh my goodness! It's just the most perfect place I can imagine for tracking. We didn't track today but explored parts of the field so I could see potential paths to make. There are some natural spots such as a patch of yellow flowers for making turns.

I must go with Terri tomorrow — some people may think it's weird to get so excited from just seeing a field but other trackers would understand immediately. Terri didn't put her nose to the ground until we got to the edge of the field — I suspect there's a path near the fence where Laura and her dogs walk. (See bottom photo.)

The entrance to a field of tracking dreams!







Terri may be scenting dogs and people here by the fence.



P.S. — You wouldn't think from the green of these fields that we're suffering from a drought, would you? I guess the little sprinkling of moisture we had recently was enough to turn the clover leaves green.
