Fall is a great time of the year to get out in nature. The air is brisk, and the afternoons are warm and golden.
If you and Rover want to rove this month, consider waiting until after the first hard frost. Pesky ticks and fleas will be substantially subdued by a cold night or two, and you won’t be bringing any of those hitchhikers home after the weekend of living in the wild. Helen Fazio and her dog, Raja, are world travelers. Visit their blog and follow them on Twitter. |

Also consider the local salmon spawning. Beautiful to see the cycle of life and death for us, but can caus a life or death situation for dogs who get into raw/dying salmon.
I am astounded by the number of people of who walk their dogs at spawning salmon spots this time of year who have no idea of the risk if their dog gets into the spawning salmon.
This might have been a more timely tip a couple of months ago.
Why wait until 13 days before the start of winter to post about fall camping. ;^P
I was thinking that too Roxanne. I have to wonder where the person who wrote this tip is located. Maybe where they’re from it’s really more fall-like?
