Oct 30: A Return to Black Duck Cove

Of all the trails that are part of the Cobscook Shores Trail system, Black Duck Cove is a favorite, and was worth a visit on October 30. The weather was perfect – plenty of sunshine, temps in the upper 50’s – low 60’s. Other than a volunteer collecting trash along the shoreline, we did not run into any other people, making it feel as if we had the entire 2.5 miles trail to ourselves on this beautiful fall day.
