Devastated woods!

It's a real mess! We did the longer loop today and I toyed with the idea of bringing my trusty pocket chain saw, but what we really need is Paul Bunyan! It would take a work gang with chainsaws weeks to clean up all the trails, and who knows if they'll think it worth doing? We may be climbing over and around for a while!

Cooler, 46F,and overcast.

Tuesday after the hurricane

Saxon Woods is a mess! We just did the short loop as it's an obstacle course just trying to follow the trails! My other blog has pictures.

There's a large tree down on the rock where I sit to take this picture every day- you can see it sticking out on the right.

Cool and smelling of damp wood and chlorophyll, 58F with a light breeze.

No music as I want to be able to hear if there's anything still to fall.

Pre-Sandy Sunday Stroll

Overcast and the wind is starting to get a bit gusty, 57F. We've done the full 4+ mile loop as who knows whether we'll be able to get out for a proper walk tomorrow?

Heading back to the church to put the final touches on our preparations - move the rugs etc. off the floor in the Undercroft and run the power lines into the boiler-room from the generator.

Friday's gentle stroll

Warm and calm today, 62F.

Spent the morning prepping the church for the storm so I don't have to scramble on Sunday :)

Listening to WCBS, one of our local news-talk stations, to hear all the hype about the "Frankenstorm" ;)

Thursday's calm

Nice and calm in the woods, 59F, but it's supposed to get a bit hairy over the weekend as Sandy makes her way up the coast. I guess I'll have to spend some time tomorrow checking out the generators etc.
