Sandy had Tuesday off and with the rain ending on Monday, we took advantage of the fair weather and hiked a section of the North Country Trail a few miles southwest of Alston we'd never done before. We parked on South Laird RD and hiked west.
 |
| Gee whiz we're finally going! |
 |
| The trail was still wet from all the rain we got yesterday! |
 |
| We found a few BIG ones across the trail. |
 |
| Here the trail followed above a nice creek. |
 |
| Beavers had created dams now gone but they still flooded the trail. |
 |
| I found cool pond to take a dip in. |
 |
| Old ceder forest. |
 |
| Another old beaver pond and this one was too deep for the 2 legged members to cross. This was as far west as we'd get today. |
 |
| I'm on an old rail road grade which a RR company used to log with. |
 |
| Some bright orange fungus we spied along the way. |
 |
| I think we crossed three ponds today. In all, the beaver's seemed to have gone. |
 |
| I think a bear has slept here! |
 |
| More trees across this section. |
 |
| The section did need clearing but not as badly as we had found the trail just west of here earlier this spring. |
 |
| Water dogs do like to cool off in any stream they find. |
 |
| And another! |
 |
| It was pretty buggy out which limited our stops. But we did have a nice little hike today! |
