Temperature in the 60's, mostly sunny, breezy- a perfect hiking day. I wanted an easy quiet trail so we took the Great Notch Trail ( Western on the map) from the long Pond Fire Rd. A mostly flat hike trough the woods with some pretty spots.
Kelley managed to find some pools of water along the trail
When we got to the intersection with the Long Pond Trail we took that rather than climb to Great Notch. This took us to the pond and we walked along that to a rock outcrop where we usually lunch and Kelley has a swim. Kelley likes water to be very calm and today, because of the wind caused small waves, she didn't go into the pond.
After lunch we returned the way we had come. The only people we met were a nice couple from Quebec. A very pleasant 3 hour outing
Sunny Fall weather. Enjoy these days while you can you two.
ReplyDeleteThanks John- maybe my favorite season but all too short
ReplyDeleteHi John...Some lovely new conifer growth along the trail there..such a nice green refreshing sight!!
ReplyDeleteNice photo of the water,sky and Kelley strolling along the edge!! To bad you doesn't like the waves, but I am not particularly fond of them slapping me in the face either : }!!

Hi Grace
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comments- a friend pointed out that when Kelley swims she has her nose at the surface of the water and any waves would go up her nose.
