2011 Adventure IV

Date of Adventure: Fri. 16 Sept. 2011

Type of Adventure: Hike

Place of Adventure: East Wallingford App/Long Trail/Beaver Pond

Length of Adventure, miles: ?

Length of Adventure, hours: 1.5

Weather: Temps around 60, sunny, light breeze. Great hiking weather. Trail mostly dry, except where it is usually wet. This trail doesn't look like it received any damage from the hurricane flooding.

Companions: Colyn

Other Adventurers Encountered: None

Notes of Interest: 1. The remains of a beaver dam are still there, but the dam itself is not holding any water. There is a piddly little puddle of water. The rest of what used to be under water is mostly walkable if you're careful. 2. Could not clearly find the old cabin structure, but I didn't go bushwacking to find it, either. I think its there, but I cannot say for sure.

Photo: The area of the former beaver pond. Most of the visible area was under water a couple years ago. The beaver damn was (and the remains still are) to the far right out of the frame.
