Lovely creations, MSC! We were in Shenandoah NP last month, although the camper was parked down in the valley ... beautiful place, but lots of distraction for dogs ...

 

[MSC]

Thanks, Cathy! The valley is as gorgeous as the range out there, isn't it?

 

[BWeaves]

Oh wow! These are seriously gorgeous.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oh, yes, MSC ... so beautiful; especially in early fall. I'm kind of missing not having plans to go back down anytime soon ...

Thank you, BWeaves!

Cathy, I feel you, I have to wait till next year to try again

What a gorgeous pearl and setting, BPDDC!

 

[CathyKeshi]

BlackPearlDudeDC, that's really beautiful ... anyone have a guess as to what type of pearl that is?

MSC, maybe you need a base camp in the valley so the puppies can hang out there while you go up top ... I know, not the same as having them right by your side, but ...

That is the difficult part about solo travel with animals, unless you've got a camper where you can run an AC unit on a generator or something similar, the only other options are to have them with you or try to find daycare. My issue with Shenandoah was the extensive number of deer that were IN the campground, which eliminated my ability to camp.

On a professional level, it was really clear to me that the park is not employing any higher level deer management strategies, which is a mistake for multiple reasons, but especially for camper safety.

My guess is Pteria sterna.

Picked up some 14k white gold threaders at gempacked, so I added some pipis

Looks like you had quite the Gempacked shopping spree! You did well...these are so pretty!

 

[MSC]

Thanks, Dave, Cathy and Jersey!

You betcha! I waited till I had a bunch of projects lined up so I could do one big order

 

[JerseyPearl]

Very smart! I am forever forgetting to order things...I really need to keep a list, like a grocery shopping list.
