    • I have the #mondayblues 

I’m missing:

🔹My daughter, Morgan, the entertainment captain and a performer in the Cabaret Rouge
🔹Uninterrupted time with family
🔹The great shows by crew staff and guest performers
🔹The ports and excursions
🔹The caring staff, especially Vikas and Fernando, who made sure my food was allergy friendly
🔹The daily sunrise lattes and fresh squeezed orange juice

    • I am rejuvenated! A day visit to the Virgin Islands National Park included a short hike and swim in Cinnamon Bay. 

The hike was only 2 miles, but the view from the top was lovely.  We passed through the ruins of a sugar cane factory, established in the early 1700’s and the remnants of American Hill Great House, popular in the early 1800’s. 

The trail is dotted with Saw Palmettos.  A bay leaf scent along the trail.

After the hike, we walked to Cinnamon Bay Beach, where we had the majority of the beach to ourselves. 

A mother and son sat in a little nook surrounded by boulders.  A brief chat brought the unexpected.  The mother was born and raised in my hometown.  What are the chances of us both being on the same solitary beach on the same day?

Fresh forest air, salty sea water and a lively conversation with a new acquaintance has emptied all of the cobwebs from my brain.

    • Mason Dixon Trail Map 3: Wago Junction to Trinity Church Road, Wrightsville.

Approximately 8 miles of this section hugs the coast of the Susquehanna River. Views of the river, birds, kayakers and the small islands in the water make this a peaceful walk.  There are also cool historical sites such as the Wrightsville fire kilns.

The trail meanders through Highpoint Park, a grassy exposed “high point” overlooking the Susquehanna River and surrounding area.

1. Susquehanna River and Veterans Memorial bridge
2. Railroad tracks along Second Street in Saginaw
3. Codorus Creek
4. Swallowtail butterflies swarmed River Farm Road
5. Wildcat Run
6. Susquehanna and a lone heron
7. Walking through a culvert under Long Level Road
8. Historic Wrightsville Kilns
9. Highpoint County Park
10. Mason Dixon sign at Highpoint Park

    • The Brandywine Trail is close to my granddaughter’s home, therefore I have been walking it with her each Friday when I am on nanny-duty.  It is 1 of 4 trail systems that, when linked, create the PA Quad Crown, a 400ish mile loop. (The other trails: Mason Dixon ☑️, Appalachian Trail ☑️, Horse Shoe Trail)

Last week, Lenny and I completed the last of the dirt trail sections through local/state parks and nature preserves. 🙌 Today, we embarked on the urban section through Downingtown.  I am unsure how much more she will do with me, since the remainder is on roadways.  Fingers crossed for sidewalk bordered streets. 🤞

    • The Mason Dixon Trail is a trail system, meaning it is more than just dirt pathways.  The “trail” also includes roads. 

Map 2: 7.1 miles through Pinchot State Park and 15+ on country (and some busy roads).

Pinchot is lovely and my dogs loved cooling off in the lake (where I used to row on a local crew team). 

Most of the roads bordered beautiful farmland, although the crossing of Interstate 83 was tricky.  Note the confusing signage: No pedestrians and a blue blaze. 

I saw Sasquatch!  He is standing guard at the BDH Custom Chain Saw Carving.  Pretty cool art!

The map ends near the Susquehanna River, where the trail follows the water for almost 100 miles.

    • Here are some highlights from Map 1 of the Mason Dixon Trail System. 

This section begins on Whiskey Springs Road, intersecting the AT and travels on country roads, through PA State Gamelands, and ends at Pinchot State Park. 

How cute is that donkey in the barn?  The gamelands were fun for my dogs, but we were all covered in ticks!  The country roads were quaint, and crossing Rt 15 was BRUTAL!
