coastsweep 2009

It was a perfect day to participate in Coastsweep 2009 -- I joined other Barnstable Land Trust members to help clean up several beaches in Cotuit. We picked up an amazing array of trash, from wrappers and bottles to rope and signs, and lots of bullets and balloon strings and plastic bags. My most horrifying find was a bag of fermenting bait worms -- even after a shower, I can still smell them. Yum!

On the last day of the hiking weekend, Marcella and I joined a dozen other hikers, led by Mark Robinson, for a shore to shore tour of Cotuit pathways and conservation land. A beautiful walk from the ocean through woods, marshes, cedar swamp land, and ending up at Eagle Pond.
