A New Trail to...


In one of those strange coincidences of life a few weeks ago I was trying to turn into the driveway of a house to do a work survey, and an acquaintance was trying to turn into a parking space that was directly opposite. Of course we asked each other what we were doing, and thus I learned that there is a small trailhead there.

Today, Maggie and I went to check out the trail. It begins by going through a beech-hemlock forest.

Next we passed behind some really large sand dunes (look beyond the trees)

It shouldn't have been a surprise, but there is a whole string of little ponds on the inland side of those dunes. I didn't know any of this was here!

The trail continued, pretty much on the level, for about two miles. Then, we climbed up a valley to pass over another ridge of dunes,
