Day 10.244: Horton Woods

It's hard to believe it has taken us so long to visit Horton Woods - my parents went there on their first visit after we moved to Maine but somehow it never made it to the top of our list until Saturday afternoon.

Judging by the cars in the parking lot and the people we saw on the trails it's a popular spot. We saw a lot of variety - gnarly trails in the woods, glimpses of meadow and the creek. We played some entertaining games of Poohsticks at the creek crossing - the first time we all dropped our sticks in, all but one headed slowly upstream away from the bridge for about 20 feet and none made it out the downstream side. There should probably be a prize for that!

At one point I spotted an owl (probably a barred owl) at the top of a tree - but sadly it flew away before I could bring the camera to bear.
