奥索卡国家公园的森林 Sylamore 地区远足

今天我和 Sweet Pea （一只我们的狗）在奥索卡国家公园的森林（Ozark National Forest） Sylamore 地区远足。我们从上午 11 点徒步到下午 5 点 30 分，走了 6 英里（8 公里）。我用驱虫剂了；一些蜱啃咬我。狗不能用驱虫剂（他们舔驱虫剂）。在家我看 Sweet Pea；50左右只啃咬它蜱它。今天晚上我们睡觉很快和很好！别天我发别照片。 https://i.nyan-8.com/u/07400ec8/15xcjvt.webp *** 沿小径的顶端 *** https://i.nyan-8.com/u/07400ec8/0c3efr9.webp *** 一只我们的狗, Sweet Pea (看照片中间部分) *** https://i.nyan-8.com/u/07400ec8/1ugy42x.webp *** 我 ***

As often happens, my English version has more details than the Chinese version. I worked for the US Forest Service from 1990 to 2008, so I know the forest very well.  I started work on the Sylamore District, which is named after a creek, North Sylamore Creek, which is named after a Native American Indian (not an Asian Indian). Today, I wanted to take a long hike with Sweet Pea (one of our dogs) on the Sylamore District of the ​​Ozark National Forest. We hiked from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM, covering six miles or about ten kilometers). I plan to write more about today's hike later. I used flea and tick repellent; about four or five ticks bit me and several more were seen crawling on me. I picked them all off. You should not put insect repellent on dogs because it is poisonous and they will try to lick it off (I didn't lick my pants!). At home, I knew I needed to check Sweet Pea for ticks and found about 50 ticks had already bitten her or were crawling through her fur. We have medicine for dogs that the veterinarian (doctor for animals) prescribed (recommended as a doctor).  Since we hiked one way, from Cole Fork to Barkshed Campground, I left my truck and Cole Fork. My wife picked us up at Barkshed late in the day, and drove me to my truck so I could hike in one direction (not out and back). Everyone, including my wife, went to sleep quickly (except me, so far) and will will all sleep well tonight! I'll post other photos and more of the story tomorrow or within a few days..
