11/6/12 U. Maine Trails


Cold ( upper 20's ) and partly cloudy. We hadn't been to the trails at the university in awhile so that's where we headed.

Our first little bits of snow


There were lots of  puddles with a skin of ice- some with interesting designs - Kelley beat me to most of them.






As usual we had problems following the map and ended up at the corn field loop by walking through a field rather than on one of the trails on the map. We have been hiking - and skiing here for years and I have never seen corn in this huge meadow which is encircled by the trail.






As she was exploring the field another dog appeared and Kelley got to play a bit



Turned out to be a pretty good 2  3/4 hour hike.

  4. Hi Malta- Because of Kelley's problem with her knees ( see her story top right)she needs a good amount of regular exercise and we hike most days and all year round. She loves the snow.

  6. Hi Grace - Thanks for your comment. Kelley really likes snow and gets excited like a child- especially deep powdery snow. I used to run too- got up to half marathons but no longer run.
