Another hot one forecast, but we got out early and while it was still cloudy so it was reasonably comfortable.
When we do this hike we first go to the beaver pond
Some leaves we found on the way
This pond was also very low.
We then turned back to pick up the loop. The last time we were here the trail was in terrible condition with many blow downs to work around. A friend had been recently and told us the trail was now in good shape, and it was. The bridges are still warped and there was a sign near the end saying the trail was closed because of the bridges. Some sections were slippery with whatever grows on the boards.
Another nice leaf
Cedar swamp section
A variety of lichens
and one last leaf
Not a bad outing. Because of the clouds it stayed in the 70's ( we got the heat later ) and Kelley did well. 1 1/2 hours
I just love those boardwalks going through the trees. I imagine those can get quite slick at times. Hope you have good "grippy" shoes!

Yes, Sue - they do get slick and I have fallen a few times- not there but other bog bridges , grippy shoes or not.
DeleteGreat shots of the leaves with water droplets!
