The trip on Saturday will be on an old trail near Lake Hancock. Some day we hope this can come into the county trail system.

Meet at Greenbank Farm near the pond at 12:45. We saw a lot of wonderful birds last Saturday at Padilla Bay, and now that we recognize them all, we are sure to see a lot more on this hike! smile

Wednesday, March 14th, Hughes said

Hiking to Hancock Saturday March 10th was an ankle buster: loose beach rocks underfoot. One walker tried driftwood logs for stability on the return trip. For us midwesterners, seeing a true estuary was a new experience in vocabulary and understanding. Undertow: do not, Elaine strongly cautioned, give in to temptation and go wading in the stream. But oh, it looked so fun! She, and also another native of this area, said I'd end soundly in the Sound somewhere!


Thanks for your feedback, Jan, and I'm glad you decided against a swim, I'll wager the water would have been a bit cold!
