9/28/11 Marsh Island Natural Area

Gray day with possible rain so we stayed close to home. We parked at the end of Penobscot St. and started on the river trail but it was in worse condition than on our last visit and difficult for Kelley so we turned back. There was a pond though that gave Kelley a chance for a nice swim



and me a nice reflection.

We then took the inland trail which eventually swings over to the river and walked south to another pond and then a bit further until it again became difficult. We walked back and followed the river north for a ways and then turned back again. As we neared the trail back Kelley started to run ahead, perhaps think about that pond. We walked back to the pond for another swim before heading back to the start of our hike.
