Foggy morning but milder temperatures. This trail system always confuses us. Today it appeared there were some new markers at the early intersections and we felt like we might actually follow our planned route. Alas, it was not to be. After we crossed over Newman Hill ( no view because of the fog) we again found ourselves with no clear indicators and once more found ourselves back where we had already been. After trying several trails we came across the snowshoe trail and were able to complete the planned hike. The hike took 2 1/2 hours and perhaps would be too short without getting lost. Eventually we got some sun and it warmed up to near 60. A good outing.
Some of the things we saw
Boulder Pond at the foggy start
Lots of water for Kelley
The old rail bed when we finally found it
The same branches from different angles
Even an old school bus in the woods
Two views of Black Pond
Decal on an old camper- no longer being used
Nice pics. I laughed at your "circle of confusion" on the map.
ReplyDeleteThanks John- That area is where we always ( several tries) manage to lose the trail
ReplyDeleteWhat is the bright orange thing on Kelley?
ReplyDeleteHi Malta - that's a bandana. It's hunting season here in Maine and people and dogs wear blaze orange ( I wear a vest) when in the woods so as not to be mistaken for game.
