a quiet walk

I headed to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge yesterday morning hoping for a good exercise walk. The beach is closed for the piping plover nesting season, the paved section of road was open to motor vehicles, and the dirt road was open for walkers and cyclists. I walked the dirt road from Hellcat to the Stage Island trail and back again, finishing just over 6 miles.

Exercise surrounded by peaceful landscape was perfect! While I couldn't see the ocean there were places where I could hear it. And since the refuge is on an island there were many water views.
