Moraine Trail

First I would like to say how "easy" Blogger makes moving photos around. I loaded these from my phone in the order I took them so i could tell you about my cool hike today. Now I get to fight and rearrange them back in the correct order. Stand by......


I take pictures as a time stamp of my adventures so sometimes my trip start and end with a parking lot photo. Sounds a little unorthodox but when people have asked my how long until the top or bottom I can look back and say 20 minutes.
This photo has 2 points.
1. Started my journey at 7:21
2. Why are people such assholes and throw their tires in the woods? There were probably like a dozen in the beginning of the trail. 
I was surprised to get home and see the color of this photo but it was in fact a bit early and pretty overcast. I don't recall this blue hue.
I was a little tired but I had packed my bag, made my lunch and had my clothes all ready so I pushed through the morning blah. I know it will go away once I get out there.
This hike took a bit longer to shake the uncomfortable feeling because I am close to roads and people and the trash makes me think about not good people but I just kept moving.
This is probably the longest and loudest section from Rt 151 to Thomas Landers Rd. I crossed the road and headed into the Tech park for a short road walk and some food at about 8:42. I wanted to keep better track of the time for sections but in reality it is more important to forget all that stuff sometimes.


Although there is a bit of road walk I think they did a good job of marking it with paint and arrows if you have a map and keep your eyes out.







Are we there yet?
This is the final road crossing at Brick Kiln Rd. I do this section from this entrance pretty often and love the pine woods here. I would really like to do it on snowshoes if Mother Nature can make it happen. 


The final stats were 9.66 miles for 3.5 hours. I just checked the GAIA App and it says I only stopped for 6:40 minutes. Phew, no wonder I was so hungry when I got home.
I should be doing it all again in a few weeks with Cape Cod Moves as part of our Winter Warrior so we will see how the weather behaves for us.
