2/9/18 Carriage Roads Around Long Pond

Forecast is for several days of snow, rain, and sleet so we headed to Acadia to try and get a hike in. At Little Long Pond Kelley wouldn't get out of the car. Went to a nearby parking spot to see if she would get out there. . After some encouragement she got out and I decided to go with the carriage roads which I thought would be easier for Kelley.

This was much better than our last hike - packed crusty snow with good footing,



The ice was in the ditches beside the roads,






Kelley did well and even took the lead at times.



There is a small stream near the parking area and Kelley always gets into it so she is nice and wet for the car.





A nice little hike and it was good we got one in because the bad weather came as forecast.

    1. No rain here either - just gray skies and slush
