Thursday Afternoon on the Seacoast

[Bruce Conti]

Took advantage of the nice weather for a trip to the seacoast; a quick half-hour stop at Rye Harbor followed by Odiorne.  The snow cover is 1 to 2 feet deep, making the hike through Odiorne a challenge.  Definitely could've used spikes for the hard-pack trails or snowshoes to walk atop the undisturbed snow.  Spotted a flock of Robins at Odiorne, a sure sign of spring.
