We went to the Grand Mere State Park today as they have the only dog friendly beach anywhere nearby. Overall I'd say it was a bust. It couldn't be less convenient to get to - about .5 miles down a nature trail and what seems like another .5 miles over several large sand dunes.
It was all very secluded. Where some people might see nature and peace and quiet, Kat sees opportunity for someone to leave us for dead in the woods. But she sees nothing wrong with chasing someone's car in Cabrini Green when they hit her and fled... Go figure.
There was no one else on the beach, which normally would be nice but without other dogs there for Mags to play with she just laid on the beach and watched us get wet and try to call her to the water. It gets deeper a lot faster than Montrose so she probably wouldn't have enjoyed it much anyway. Add to that a dose of biting flies and we spent more time walking to and from the beach than at it.
We have some pics which we'll post when we're back home - I forgot the cable I need to get online here w/o going to a café or something.
We'll be hitting the park tonight and then try the restaurant, Bridges, which we've heard allows dogs on the patio. Hopefully the park works out better than the beach.
