This week we knew that it was gonna be wet and rainy out there, so we decided to do Bluff Point again. It seems like every time the weather is in the extreme, Bluff Point is there to protect us. With Sofee trails in abundance, Bluff Point was the obvious choice while hiking in the rain.
The hike started off with a light rain, and we all knew we were gonna be wet by the time we were finished. About 15 to 20 minutes into it however, the rain had stopped, leaving a significant amount of over flowing puddles in our path. Most of the puddles were quit large and breasted the entire width of the trail. We were brushing away the branches as we tried to maneuver around pools of water, trying not to get our feet wet.
We hiked the entire 3 mile loop around Bluff Point, then decided to lengthen our adventure by going around again, but turning around at the beach. We probably put in about 4 1/2 - 5 miles in all before we were through.
Rob, coming off his eye surgery, didn't join in on our hike, but he was Sof's chauffeur for the day. We all enjoyed lunch at Go Fish in Mystic in anticipation of our ritual after-the-hike latte's.
OK, see everyone next week.
Joe
