Day 7.253: Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park

We had another short hike in the morning, hang-out and relax in the afternoon Saturday. It seems to work pretty well for all of us, once we get over the initial reluctance to leave the house.

Today we headed up to Freeport, where we shunned the rather busy looking streets around LLBean and the other factory outlets and instead continued out to Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park.

We investigated some of the trails (in the woods), including the Casco Bay Trail which has several shore-access points.

It looks like this:

Two views of the sea, and one of a sea monster in the woods.

It also looked like this:

Bottom right is indian pipe, we've seen it before a few times but never as much as we saw today - and never before with this striking pink hue.

When we arrived, it also looked like this:

and, when Exile #3 decided to turn her small finds into a fairy gift basket, it looked like this:

In the bottom left is a fairy bed she also made on a section of trail made soft underfoot with a thick layer of pine needles - it was quite tempting to have a lie down (not in the bed, just on the needles).

After our walk and a reviving snack, we inexplicably ended up playing a game of "Sharks and Minnows" - a variant of the game I knew as "British Bulldog" while kilted attendees of a wedding in the park played Frisbee nearby.
