Fisherman’s Walk… part two. The Wiggly Bridge

.

If you remember… my husband and I started our coastal trek searching for Fisherman’s Walk which I thought was entirely too short. As we finished the York Cliff Walk and headed back to our car we realized the walk was too short because we’d literally started in the middle of it.

.

.

These trails are not well marked and it wouldn’t surprise me to find locals sitting on their porches laughing at the tourist’s confusion. Winters are long, we have to get our jollies somewhere.

.

.

Onward…

.

.

Not knowing what to expect around the next corner we almost missed the path as it goes right in front of someone’s house.

.

.

Around the bend, a boardwalk.

.

.

And past that a causeway.

.

.

That leads to a nature preserve.

.

.

It was a lovely section.

.

.

And we really picked a perfect day to do it. Clear blue skies and temperatures in the low 70’s.

.

.

At the end of the causeway was a locally famous bridge.

A famous, and as it turns out aptly named bridge.

York Cliff Walk … part three.

.

Walking through the tree tunnel….

.

.

Brings you to a little beach entrance…

.

.

And a beautiful home at the end of the trail.

.

.

The path simply stopped. It dead ended and other than strolling across someone’s lawn, our only option was to turn around.

.

.

With a last look at a perfectly placed hammock…

.

.

We headed back the way we came and as always… noticed different things.

.

.

The husband was mesmerized by this gravity defying stone and had to investigate.

.

.

No adhesive, no bolts.

.

.

Just the perfect combination of natural depressions and angles.

.

.

Back on the path…

.

.

I took time to love me some rocks.

.

.

The striations, the colors.

.

The wind blown ruined hairdo…

.

.

It was all good.

.

.

I do love my rocks.

.

.

Quirky windswept trees have so much character.

.

.

But watching where we were stepping became important in places. I don’t think this trail has been repaired for decades.
