This picture is actually taken we finished our hike. If you click the picture to enlarge, you can see that Bogies eyes are a little tired. All in all, Bogie and I hiked for a little over 4 hours straight and it was a very sunny day. The book shows a network of trails but it is very understated in the book. In fact, we got lost for about 2 hours and this is with my coming off of a knee problem a week and a half ago. The signs are not as plentiful as they could be but there was a map at the entrance into the park. The map was pretty great and the trail itself is quite beautiful.
Here you can see one of the many signs for a very short trail called the Pretzel Tree trail. It is for kids obviously and very cute. The trail was in pretty good shape on the west side and very overgrown in spots on the east side. The east side is where we got lost on the way back. Not sure how we got turned around but still was a great mid day hike.
Here are a couple pictures of Bogies new puppy hair cut. I’m sure he was much cooler on this, longer than expected, hike. 
Still on the west side, saw these marks on a couple of the trees. Could these be bear marks?
Here are a couple pictures of the original Bullitt home fireplace.
You will probably have to click this to see it and still the picture doesn’t do justice. A large owl swept along our path and immediately perched in a try right above us. This is the first time I’ve seen an owl in the middle of the day on a trail hike. 
This sign was literally on the ground and evidently wasn’t what I thought it was. We ended up being on an entirely different trail. So it is definitely time for me to stop being ill prepared for hikes and invest in a good compass and perhaps some GPS equipment.
