We were taking a nice walk at Kent’s Point a couple of days ago when we saw this sailboat on the grass on the little river by the trail. How did it get there?
It looks like it got loose from its mooring and washed up high on the grass with those huge high tides that we had the past couple of weeks.
But how will it get off of the grass? I sure hope they can do something before the cold and the ice sets in. It looks like a nice sailboat.
If you’ve hiked the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill in the past couple of years, you have probably noticed the clearings of vegetation along the way. These were cleared to give the area needed light and room for the Red Maple seedlings to grow.
As you can see in the photograph, each seedling has a pink flag to identify it. Wow! There sure are a lot of Red Maple seedlings growing in each clearing. Kudos to the national park workers in making this happen! It will be fun to watch them grow.
