I was taking a hike at Fort Hill the other day when I came around the bend and saw this mysterious creature on the side of the trail. After a double-take, I thought, “Oh, what fun!” Have you seen this guy on the trail?

This was one of the trails that we used to take coming back from Nauset Spit on the marsh side. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

You used to be able to do a loop around from the ocean to the marsh and then through the dune back to the ocean side.  We haven’t tried that recently, have you?

It was a gorgeous, sunny day to hike the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail. The hike is so diverse and the views are stunning. (Click on blog link other photos.)

One part of the trail takes you out to the beach where you can climb this beautiful sand dune. It was so much fun!

And then hiking back to another cut-off on the trail was just stunning in itself. Have you ever hiked this gorgeous trail?

I could hear the song of the Northern Mockingbird as I got out of my car at Fort Hill yesterday morning. I was lucky that he was perched on a branch nearby as he sang away. What a treat! I got my camera out and clicked away!

A New Mystery At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

You never know what Mother Nature has changed since the last time you were at Coast Guard Beach. I posted a blog about the new 4-6’  dunes a couple of weeks ago. Well, they are all gone. The beach is pretty flat now… for the time being. And all of the pipes and wooden poles that we saw then couldn’t be found.

As we were walking on the beach yesterday, we could see all these pieces of blacktop and they were all in a specific area. That got us thinking… was it part of the parking lot that washed away in the Blizzard of ‘78? Or could it be part of the road going from Coast Guard Station down to the old parking lot?

Anyone have any ideas? Have you walked the beach in the past few days?
