A new trail for Hartstene

A rainy weekend in November. What more perfect time than to do something we’d been thinking about for a while – blaze a new trail through the woods?

We started from Karen’s bench up above Ann and Ted’s and just headed off in the brush. A couple of hours later we had the pretty good bones of a trail laid out.

Of course, we discovered some dreaded holly along the way. Here’s Karen and Raleigh wrenching up some roots. If you’re heading down to the island, please walk the trail – it’s an easy 1/2-mile loop and it needs some feet to keep it alive!

Oh, and it was a particularly lovely weekend for a walk along the shore, too…
