Thanks to Hallie for recommending Fahnestock Park instead of Sugarloaf. Our first hike since November when we did a short one up Turkey Hill. This was more than a mini; car door to car door it was 7.54 miles – a bit longer than I had anticipated. It was the Charcoal Burners\/Cabot\/Perkins\/Fahnestock Trail Loop<\/a> which includes lots of woods, three ponds and some mild up and down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Jordan Pond, about a mile and a quarter into the hike – very pretty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further on – the water in the background is Clove Creek – it was just before we reached here that Jeanne Marie’s outer sole on her shoe came loose…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing along, this is what the majority of the hike was like – walking through stately trees as they wait for their leaves to return!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While on the way a second duct tape job on Jeanne Marie’s right shoe – the first one came off – I did a better job on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This little wooden bridge was just past the halfway point of the walk –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now we’ve reached the west edge of Clove Creek, which we’d seen from the hill earlier –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on toward Beaver Pond – more beautiful tree groves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s Beaver Pond. No sign of beavers in the first picture but then check other cut down trees in the further pictures – classic beaver marks –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big tree down right in the middle and plenty of other downed trees in the surrounding area –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compadres. That’s the red hat Brigid’s niece June sent me several years ago – lent to Jeanne Marie who had forgotten a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the big tree brought down by beaver action in the prior picture, from a closer view obviously. It’s over a foot in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here it was about a mile and a quarter back to the car, and about a half mile from the end, the sole on Jeanne Marie’s other shoe came completely off! She just continued on, walking on the midsole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here – at the end – Jeanne Marie holding her sole – will be buying some new hiking shoes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So – great doing another wonderful hike. Next hike, end of May? Perhaps Storm King!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
