watery hike

Yesterday I tried to repeat a hike I’ve done before from Schoodic Bog trailhead. I couldn’t make it up the little hill to the trailhead parking, too slippery. So I parked along the roadside. Enjoyed the hiking although I only went as far as the beaver dam. Light rain, pearly sky, ice. I stayed in the area of the dam for awhile, just slowing down and observing.

Birch forest at intersection of side trail to bog: Upon returning to the car, I found it was stuck in the soft gravel. I had to call Sam to get me out. He said it would have helped if I had released the emergency brake.
