Well we made it to through another week in isolation and emerged into a beautiful weekend to kick of the month of May. We decided to take advantage of it and explore some new trails in the area that we have not been to before. Our walk began at a small parking lot with just a couple of other cars. The trail wound its way into the woods and through the marshes passing a number of houses. Pretty quickly though, we were well away from signs of civilization, and the wildlife appeared.
We eventually found ourselves walking around a small pond that was quite overrun with turtles. There were easily hundreds of them on every tiny island, and log. In addition there was a heron doing some fishing, and a family of geese eating from the grass in the sun.
With all of the wildlife and beautiful views came more people as well. After we got back I found out that there was a second entrance much closer to this pond, so it seems that a number of people we coming in from there. We wound our way back towards the car, and saw a couple more critters along the way, including this beautiful snake.
All told it was a great spot, a beautiful day, and a great way to relax a little. I would highly recommend this spot to others.
