Bear Mountian Dogs Walk For Cancer

May 6, 2007

Well, it’s another year for the Bear Mountain Dogs Walk for Cancer. I think it might be the “Dogswalk” for Cancer though. I did a post on this last year, so you already may have an idea of what goes on with the walk, but I may have better photos this time. Of course, I brought the camera with this in mind.

So basically what happens is this…you register for the walk and you go there and walk. Around the lake that is. Of course, there is the whole park to explore afterwards if you want, but the basic jist is the walk around the lake. If the Bear Mountain Inn is open, you can hang out in there too. Today, the Inn was closed for renovations.

So here goes…

Bear Mountain Merry-go-Round

This is the Bear Mountain Merry-Go-Round. This is where some radio personalities and vendors set up shop.

Bear Mountain Path Around Lake

Ahh, the walk begins. The photo above is the first leg of the walk around Hessian Lake. The whole walk isn’t even that long…maybe 3/4 of a mile.

Who else but Holly and me? Laura took about five pictures of us on this bench, but this was the best one. Holly freaks out a little bit when the camera comes out.

These are just more pictures of Hessian Lake, from different angles. In the last one, you can see the top part of Bear Mountain Bridge.

This is a very important shot that Laura took. Doesn’t it look like I am standing on the edge of the picture?

Another important shot by Laura. Her whole family was impressed by my balancing skill.

Here we go down the last leg of the walk. This is a slight decline heading towards the canoe area and back to the big field.

Finally done. I don’t think we were as tired as the dog in the picture, but it’s a decent little workout.

After the walk is finished, some people come up to you and hand you a bag with little goodies in it. Mostly it is promotional items for dog food companies, but sometimes you get lucky with a frisbee or something. Also, the big thing is to walk around and visit all the tables giving out free stuff.

Another year down and a good tradition followed. Till next year!
