Cloudy and humid with rain predicted so we went to nearby Walden. We took the Loop Trail to the old rail bed, followed that past what's shown on the map, turned back, and took the snowmobile trail at Kelley's request. I have drawn in the trail that leads from the snowmobile trail to the loop trail so it is approximate. The loop trail completed our loop and took us back to our car. There was lots of water for Kelley and we met her friend Sophie and mistress who we had not seen in a long time. No other people or dogs.
Leaves are falling but still lots of green.
This moth looks similar to the one from the water the other day and I will submit it for an ID
As we walked along the old rail bed the sun came out- it never did rain.
There is still lots of Queen Anne's Lace. There are all stages present from those just opening to those drying up.
As noted, we never did get rain and it heated up to humid 80's - still a nice 1 3/4 hour hike.
One thing about the inclement weather that we've had of late is that you and Kelley get a lot of trails to yourselves..
ReplyDeleteThat's true- rained most of yesterday and it's raining this morning- again.
