Bangor City Forest and Bog Walk

One of the neatest gems in Bangor is the Bangor City Forest with the accompanying Bog Walk that starts in Bangor and goes into Orono. Quincy has been there twice now – once in his stroller in November and then today. I purposefully left the stroller in the car because I wanted Quincy to get some exercise and have fun.

Here is Quincy standing by the signboard for the bog walk. He was very good about listening to me and standing still for his picture to be taken. He had already walked about 1/4 mile at this point and that is even before we hit the bog walk!

The walk is 1 mile long and takes you thru a wide variety of terrain. Here’s another picture I took of the walkway itself. There are also a good amount of placards up that explain the different animals and vegetation that you might encounter. We only saw birds – no bears today. 🙁 We do have a bear and cubs living across the street from us, but that’s another matter altogether.

Quincy managed to walk quite a distance by himself, but eventually he tuckered himself out and wanted to be carried. Part of my plan was not well thought out – he now weighs 26 pounds. He likes me to carry him on my left side – my weaker side. So, we took our time going back to the car – taking time to stop and sit at some of the many benches that were out.

It must’ve been good exercise because he has been sleeping for almost 3 hours as I write this. I do expect him to get up soon. I did upload pictures from our outing. You can find them under the Photos tab or just jump there now.
