The John Kendrick Woods Trail in Orleans is one of our favorite hikes, especially off-season when it’s really windy. It’s nice and secluded in the middle of the forest. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Dogs are welcome on the trail and people even supply their “goodie box” with lots of dog treats. A fun time for everyone…
I stopped at First Encounter Beach the other day when it was so windy it looked like you could surf the waves on the bayside. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I remember a blog I had written a year ago about those orange buoys that lead the way for the trucks to get out to their oyster beds at low tide. And then I saw those orange buoys again at high tide and thought, “ How on earth is it possible that a few hours later at low tide, that the water will be low enough for those trucks and carts to drive out there again. Unbelievable and total dedication!
There are so many trails to choose from when hiking at Nickerson State Park in Brewster. We love to park in one of the lots and then meander down trails and decide as we go. Having the AllTrails app on your phone helps a lot.
This hike we started at the parking lot of Little Cliff Pond and then went out onto other ones. So much fun exploring new trails.
Yesterday morning was pretty dreary and rain was forecast for the afternoon , so I thought I’d take a walk over to Boat Meadow Beach while it was still somewhat nice. There were a few cars and trucks in the parking lot, without drivers sitting in them, so I wondered what was going on.
What a surprise I got when I saw a new Osprey nest platform being put up by Boat Meadow Beach. Wow! It will be so much fun to be able to watch them from the beach while they build their nest and raise their young.
When I walked closer, I saw that “The Beard With Binoculars” team was just finishing up. I asked if they would like a group photo for the Eastham Facebook Page. I posted it yesterday and have had a huge response.
Thank you to the whole team from all of us in Eastham. What a treat it will to be able to see these Osprey so close all summer long!
As you hike up the Pamet Cranberry Blog Trail in Truro, you are treated to some spectacular views of Ballston Beach. It’s incredible to think that the Blizzard of February 2013 with hurricane force winds caused the ocean to “overwash” those dunes and travel up the Pamet River. What an incredible story! And what an incredible view!
