Trip Report/Photos
When I say the weather could have been worse, I mean it.
We experienced a short period of light rain on the boardwalk trail and some nice warming sun peeking through the clouds on Stage Island. After exiting the refuge, several of had lunch at Mad Martha’s Cafe. Later, three of us were near to or at the Visitor’s Center during the hail and rain storm.
Thanks to all who joined this nature walk.
