11/26/12 Marsh Island


The last couple of days have been cold  or rainy and I worry a bit about Kelley ( though she has done little coughing and seems fine) so we have just walked around the neighborhood or downtown. Today was cold and windy with a mix of sun and clouds but we needed to get in the woods so we went to Marsh Island for a 1- 3/4 hour walk. We started from Hillside Ave. and , for maybe the first time, followed the trail to the river without ending up going in circles or in someones backyard. Kelley was happy to be on trails and there was lots of sniffing to be done.  She was a little disappointed that the puddles and small pools were all ice covered and it wasn't until a good ways into the hike that she found a stream with running water.




When we reached the Penobscot we followed the river trail to the marshy area but there was no open water there either. She is generally wary of the big river but today wanted to go down to it. The water was high and  the current swift so she just went in at the edge and came back out.



We then returned the way we had come. Not a bad hike as we were mostly in the woods and out of the wind and comfortable and there was some sun.
