the Way of the Turtle

A Short Walk at the Hannacroix Creek Preserve
Saturday, October 18, 2008

After karate classes wrapped up on Saturday we left Ann's truck in Albany and headed south for the Waldron's annual pig roast... along the way I took us to the Hannacroix Creek Preserve in Coeymans so we could spend at least a few minutes outdoors. We hiked down the Hudson River Interpretive Trail which goes through wetlands and woods down to the shore of the river - it's also the spot where I saw a bald eagle this summer.

Nice day for a walk... still lots of colors on the trees. The river was at low tide, but it looked like the tide had gone out recently - the mud was still pretty wet. No eagles, unfortunately... just a nice walk in the woods with my sweetheart.
