Looking for the river otter

The start of the search

I did not know I would be searching for the river otter today. I was just going for a walk on a trail…

Lovely creek

The first creek we come upon is just lovely. It was overcast, crisp and calming. I could hear two gentlemen having a conversation.

Apparently they had been there all morning just talking… Nice huh? They told me about a part of the boardwalk coming up that was closed for repair. They were very helpful.

Closed for repair

I did not find the river otter, I did find the elusive river chicken though…

River Chicken…

Thank you!

Walk thru the Woods…

The Trail below the boardwalk…

We are so fortunate in Atlanta to have so many trails to hike, run, bike and just explore. Every time I turn around I find another one. I believe the Beltline might be the most popular one, with the westside opening up recently.

This trail is at Mason Mill. There are 3 or 4 different main trails with several off trails to explore..

It is just a lovely place to spend the afternoon.

Take a walk today….
