National Trails Day Scenic Hike - Pequonnock River Valley
In Celebration of National Trails Day, I co-lead a Scenic Hike thru Pequonnock River Valley (Trumbull CT), The weather was a little sketchy - rain and drizzle to start out and overcast until the end. Despite the foreboding weather, a few families and interested folks showed up and we had a good time showing them the valley.A few folks knew the Park decades ago and marveled at the changes - fields were now forests - nature reigns supreme!
The hike was intended to be a dual scenic hike and clean up and everyone chipped in: picking up discarded tin cans, plastics, etc, and other litter along the way (especially Sophie, the little girl in the pictures!).
Colorful mushrooms and lots of varied plant life were enjoyed by all and the vista looking over Rt 25 was the highlight of the hike (as always :-) ).
Wilton Woods
After the hike--being a bit of a FitBit fanatic--I was seeking more steps for the day, so I ventured over to Wilton Woods and hiked the less traveled north side. The trails in both parks were a little wet and muddy so I am glad I stayed off the bike for a day....
