Mastic Trail

Kirk and I had always wanted to hike the Mastic Trail--which is a trail that cuts through the middle of the island. Because we've had some "cooler"/windier days, we decided it was time to take the hike.

Here we are at the trailhead ready to set off...

first part of the trail looked like this

this is what the island looked like before they carved a path through it--impassable due to all the jagged limestone

and what kind of hike would we have had, had we not seen one of these!

sorry, just saw your comment...hike was not hard, but you really have to watch where you are going because the roots and the limestone sections are jagged
