On the weekend, Heather and I walked down through the marsh below our new house to the Annapolis River. We were interested to check out the riverine vegetation species.
Yesterday we were surprised to hear the sound of a tractor. They were cutting the marsh grasses for the hay. This reminded us that it is that time of year for the farming community.
With good intentions, we are increasing our daily walks. Today, it was back to Valley View Park. At our regular parking spot on the Hampton Mountain road, we found the entrance to the Chalet Road trail. Previously, we had hiked this trail to the communication tower.
The trail had not been maintained, however we did locate new chalets, as part of the Hampton Mountain Chalets. We came back to Hampton Mountain Road via Dragonfly Lane. This proved to be about an hour-long walk.
Invigorated, later in the evening, we loosened up the legs with a short fifteen-minute stroll around the CARP Marsh Trail.
Edward sent me a link he judged to be a challenger to Esri’s StoryMaps in Newfoundland and Labrador.
“Create a digital book and share your story with the world.”
These are the words of Newfoundland’s storyexchange.com
This platform may be an effective way of sharing place-based perspectives that are not “map-centric”.
