9/27/12 Hallowell Recreation Trails and Jamies Pond

A beautiful day and Jill and Ellie were going to show us some trails we have not seen in Hallowell near Augusta.  We could not find a trail map for the Hallowell Rec Trails where we went first. There was a network of trails that we wandered and lots of water for the dogs. There are apparently a reservoir, quarries, ponds, and streams. We wandered around for about two hours and it was quite enjoyable. We met other people with dogs and this pleased both Ellie and Kelley.

More talking than picture taking and I was trying out a different method of metering and  ruined many shots.

Ellie liked to retrieve a tennis ball from fairly far out in the water.

 We then drove the short distance to Jamies Pond and did the loop indicated on the map, stopping for lunch along the pond. This was also a very pleasant trail

At the end there was one last swim

 We spent about an hour and a half on this section of the hike. Kelley had started out a little lame but it did not seem to interfere with her enjoyment of the hike. This morning she seems to be doing better. Thanks, Jill for taking us around these spots.
