I missed Opening Day because I couldn’t move my legs after 4 days of hiking in the woods. After a full weekend of A535, hot baths, ibuprofen, and extra sleep (also waiting for the sun to come out), I made it out for a half day by the west shore of Beausoleil.

Abbey, Sage, Scruffy, and Chinny accompanied Eric and I on a tour around Beausoleil Island and Giant’s Tomb at the end of August. No one will blame you for not telling the dogs apart; schnauzers pretty much look the same when they’re wet.
