Fall Hike Nov 2015

I am not sure how we manage to pick somewhat cold and wet weekends for our fall hike.  Considering has amazingly warm and wonderful the fall has been until this point, this weekend was not as nice.  But none-the-less, a number of hardy souls and bodies made it out to Dixon Wilderness area and Bannister Lake near Cambridge

Here is the crew at hike start. Still dry. Karen brought half a dozen high-quality binoculars along for viewing aid.

On the board walk. (Yes, she is 9 months pregnant)

These shoes simply amused me.

The kids mid-hike.

Learning about various things from our guide.

The chickadees were willing to visit for food. Sadly, probably a sign that they are fed too much.

Sometimes it seems that nature has its own chainsaw.

at the lookout tower over the lake. Trumpeter swans were new to many of us.

The young helping the younger.

I didn’t get pictures of the swans, or the enjoyable time at Tim’s afterwards.  Or an “after” photo, with us all still relatively dry and smiling.  Come join us next time.
