Check Out This Unusual Tree Trunk In Nickerson State Park On Cape Cod!

We have been having so much making  new trails with the AllTrails app in Nickerson State Park. There are so many different trails in which to make your route and all are so different! (Click on blog link to see full photo.)

On our latest new hike we came across this tree trunk that I thought was hilarious! It looks like a moose’s hoof, don’t you think? And the tree is probably 30 feet tall.

You never know what you will see on the trails as long as you keep your eyes open and look for those unique things!

What Could They Possibly Be Building In Rock Harbor On Cape Cod?

We’ve been watching the huge cranes working at Rock Harbor for a couple of weeks now. I thought they were putting in new pilings for a new dock. But, little by little, they put these huge metal pilings around the whole boat ramp on the Eastham side. (Click on blog link for other photo.) Help! How would we launch our kayaks this summer if they got rid of the ramp?

We drove over to the Eastham side and asked one of the workers what they were doing. He explained that they had to put these huge metal pilings all around the boat ramp so they could pump the water out of the area so they could build a new ramp. Amazing!

I had no idea that’s how they built a new ramp going into the water, did you?

(The photos look different because I took one on Sunday when it was cloudy and the other on Monday, when the crane was operating.)
