Wet and rainy weekend (4 day weekend). Of course, rainy, doesn't mean unpleasant or horrendous downpour. Well, on Saturday, it was too heavy to be out for long. Cold this time of year, so we rented the lakeside cottage. Heated with full kitchen, so we spent time inside, reading and playing games. We spent a morning hiking a trail (Old Growth Lane). A mix of wetland (very high water -it's raining) and upland old growth. The high ground was a rain forest setting. Ferns up to 3 ft and a thick ground cover of other plants. The trees were thick trunked. The Fen Way Boardwalk got us over the wettest areas and the 'lane' had been built up in a levee style at the north end of the fen. Very pleasant. Even on the rainiest day, there were some people out. The three 'kitchens' are open with plenty of air moving. No lights and the heavy clouds and rainy meant it was dark Saturday morning. Otherwise, they were quite airy and well lighted the other days. Several other trails of interest we didn't have time for but did do the half mile picnic area and beach areas (2) along Deep Lake.
