We couldn't even find the trail most of the time. Every so often we spotted the yellow blaze marks painted on the trees to mark the trail, but most of the time we just headed in the right direction.
A walk before breakfast is always pleasant, so today Ken and I went for an early hike to find the old trail. When we first purchased this farm in 1997, we hired a forester to assess the wood lots and to map out a nature trail from the old farm house and back again. He did a great job, through deep woods and across the edge of fields. We walked the trail a lot, but especially me. I took that hike almost every day. Ken of course, does not really like to do the same things twice, let alone every day. But then Alan put a new road right across the woods to the next field, which allowed us to get to our picnic area in the far woods without opening the gates and walking through the cattle. It became easier to walk on the new road, so I did.
Then the trees fall down, so soon I could not even find the nature trail. But today we found it, at least, we found part of it, which is a good thing. It was pleasant in the woods but not as easy as walking on the road. We will see what I will do.
