Belle Isle Marsh.
We met at the nearest restaurant, a whimsical Columbian place with maduros, before today's hike. The juxtaposition of housing, airplanes, wildlife, and city skyline make Belle Isle Marsh unique.

Barn Island Wildlife Management Area
Today I ended the summer with a short visit to Barn Island Wildlife Management Area . There is a boat launch ramp here, with a smaller canoe launch aside it. The 60 parking spaces , large enough for pickups with boat trailers, were filled this Labor Day and cars were parked on the road back to the entrance! It would, however, be difficult to feel crowded on this 1013 acre (409 hectare) coastal preserve . I did find one friend though.
The Great Killingly Tomato Festival
Agricultural fairs have long stopped being what they should be. Families reuniting. Fathers relaxing with their children while mothers rest without. LOCAL performers and marching bands surrounded by local merchants and entrepreneurs. Ridiculous contests . In an era where some agricultural fairs won't allow dogs on their grounds the Great Killingly Tomato Festival is a refreshing hint at the origins of the crowded overpriced carnivals that pretend to be local today.
