Lost and Found

Yesterday Mom and I went back to Wompatuck State Park. We'd intended to go to Bare Cove, but Mom couldn't find the GPS to get us there. She would have found it easily, but she'd already had to go back into the house several times. Every time she would go back into the house, I got more and more excited. She decided that we would just go someplace easy to get to.

She brought her trail map with her, and it's pretty much a good thing that she did. I decided that we were going to go tearing off the paved path, and she figured that would be okay. Unfortunately, not all of the trails are marked, so the map was less useful than she thought it would be. That was fine. We were able to find our way back to a marked trail and we got to see some amazing sights while we were there. The park used to be inhabited, and we passed the remains of roads, and curbs, and buildings. It was pretty amazing and kind of eerie, to be all alone with just the two of us and only the ruined signs of human habitation however many years ago.
