4/3/12 Little Long Pond Area

Couldn't decide where to go today so picked one of Kelley's favorite hikes. Sunny but a bit nippy at the start as it was windy and only mid 30s. We did our usual route except checked out two trails I wasn't familiar with ( the two short trails upper right near the Jordan Pond House). The first ( on the left) we had not been on before and it was not maintained with many downed trees to work around. The second I thought might be the Seaside Path which we had taken before from Jordan Pond to Seal Harbor and this turned out to be so. On the map it appears to end at the carriage road but it continues to Seal Harbor on private property. We took the carriage road back to the first trail which also continued south and took it back to the carriage road that runs down to the pond. This section ( on private property) was maintained. We had our lunch at the pond and then took a little longer route back to the car.

A very pretty day but a disappointment for Kelley in that we met no other dogs ( very unusual) and only one other person. 3 hours
