Here we are at the beginning
We left the dogs at home and headed out. Bull Point was our intended destination, but would we make it?? It was going to take around 2 miles to get there but i was excited about a nice long walk with Charles, talking and laughing and taking in all that this beautiful island had to offer. It is a gorgeous island with over 14 miles of hiking/biking/exploring. Tall pines and massive Live Oaks lines the trails.
Charles wanted to pose by the first marsh we walked past...it was low tide
There is a beautiful Butterfly garden...unfortunately not the masses of Butterflies i was hoping for
More massive foliage
OH and in the above pic you can see Skull Creek Boathouse one of our favorite restuarants!
Then we started down a path that we THOUGHT would lead to Bull Point (our intended destination). I should have known by the dark shadows that we may be have headed the wrong direction.
We literally walked for an hour and a half...more amazing Live Oak trees and then we got to a clearing...
It was about this time that i realized for long we had been walking and where we were supposed to be ... and it wasn't anywhere near where we actually were.... in the picture below you can barely make out a tree line in the distance....that's where we thought we were
Finally we made our way back. My hips and shins were killing me (i apparently need new shoes BADLY to run) but we had hiked around 6 miles in gravel and grass! You'll notice the path that was so shadowy and dark is now beautiful and full of light... we were almost done!!
We obviously did not make it to Bull Point, but maybe we will when we go back (Charles grabbed a map). I am excited for our next adventure :) I'll be sure to share when it happens!
