Trip North - Pemquid Point - Salt Pond and Laverna Preserves

 One of my favorite big houses.

 Rachel Carson came here to study the the tidal pool.

 It is low tide

Here is the same view at almost high tide the next day.

Tucson surveys the shoreline

Someone has built a nice retaining wall.

 The boys contemplate life together.

Next is a hike at Laverna Preserve

 It is a 2.5 mile loop trail through the woods to the shoreline

 The neighbor of the parking area has built an interesting fence.

 and we're off!

 

 We take the turn for the Tibbetts trail which is supposed to lead to a freshwater pool

 A forest whale tale

 Dead End trail - we're up for it.

 Looks like we made it to the shoreline

 and here is the Pool but I think it's not freshwater and there is algae in it 

so Tucson is out of luck for a swimming hole.

 and a beautiful shoreline it is. 

 The boys take a break

 and Gary says he sees an Eagle - but it is an Osprey

 We move on

 

 We head to Round Pond

 

to check out the Two Ladies Lobsters

Looks like a small operation

I asked for the Lobster to be cooked so we went to the Granite Hall store 

to kill some time

 Chock full of stuff

Home and time for dinner.  Lobster for me and Haddock stuffed

with lobster, crab and shrimp for Gary.

Another great day!
