Yes, the first snowfall of the season has blanketed our town and forced many to dig out the snow shovel, find the ice scraper and top off the windshield washer fluid. Here INORONO we might be complaining a but today's snow was little more than an inconvenience - although with the media hype I'm sure the local grocers all appreciate the increase in bread and milk sales.
Today's winter weather had me already missing the autumn weather we INORONO love so much with the low, but still warm, sun and the crisp dry air. Just a few short weeks ago Andi and spent a lovely afternoon at the Orono Bog walk and if you haven't been, you're missing a gem here INORONO.
The Bog was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service in 1974 and in 2002 and 2003 a boardwalk was built to allow people to enjoy the natural wonder right here in our backyard.
The boardwalk is 4200 feet long and loops right through the heart of the 616 acre Orono Bog. There are seven interpretive stations along the way and to get the full experience of the bog, be sure to read them all. Flora and fauna are in different stages at different times of the year so don't be shy about coming back in the spring, summer and to enjoy the spectacular reds of fall. With just about exactly a month left in this year's season, come explore the Bog before it closes for the winter.
Be sure to check out their website at www.oronobogwalk.org.
It's a bog, it's a boardwalk, it's cool and it's INORONO!
