In anticipation of a long car ride this winter, we decided to take Sadie and Sylvester on a little trip. This was their first car ride lasting longer than 45 minutes. Friday after work we loaded up the car and headed east. We spent the night in Saratoga Springs. It was a somewhat stressful sleep because we were constantly worrying about the dogs barking when people walked down the hotel hall.
Saturday we headed on a scenic drive through Adirondack park. This is very different than state/national parks that I am used to in the west. Other than some pretty scenery and some trails or pull offs marked along the road, it was not that different than driving down a country road with towns all along the way (commercial). There were many, many lakes and the leaves are starting to change. So it was a very pretty drive.
Several times along the way we stopped to take pictures and let the dogs sniff things out. They did pretty well with the whole trip. Once and while they would get anxious and whine wanting to get out of the back of the car but most of the time they just rested.
