As we essentially live right next to the power substation, we very rarely lose power, and are thankful to have not lost it last night. But we awoke to news of no school, and my work was cancelled as there was no power in downtown Brunswick either. The morning was spent lounging around and doing a little bit of cleaning and such, but by lunchtime, the rain had stopped, the winds had calmed (at least slightly) and there was some clearing in the sky, so I decided Sam and I needed to get outside!
We drove over to the Cathance for a short loop out through the woods and down along the river. Lots and lots of stuff down, mostly small branches, with a few trees down across the trail and multiple down into the river, and an insane amount of water flowing in the river. Amazing the change from last week's walk where we could rock-hop across the river to today's roaring high river!
Sam was loathe to move off the couch and come with me, but she did say "That was awesome!" when we finished hiking, so I'm calling it a win :) Just like with us, sometimes it's the first step that's the hardest... time outside on the trails is always a good thing! And today it was a good way to keep the taper crazies at least slightly under control :) (1.2 miles walked)
