IF INTERESTED IN CARPOOLING LET ME KNOW
It was a bit chilly, but sunny, when five of us met Sunday morning for a 3 hour excursion around historic Laudholm Farm Reserve. We traveled the outermost trails.
The reserve has a bit of everything - snow covered grasslands, aspen groves, orchards, woodlands, tidal pools, a salt water marsh, barrier dunes, a beach area and views of the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, across the estuary. The low angled sunlight made the place seem all that more special.
We had great conversations of flora and fauna, including wildlife, found on the reserve. Afterwards we had a late lunch at the Maine Diner. What a great day !!!
We are all looking forward to future GO adventures.

Comment: Nice Trip Mo, Thank You. Perfect weather, i.e, clear bright cold with no wind, bugs, or crowds and the combination of farm fields, tidal marsh, and ocean views makes this place special.
