In winter it is hard to find places to hike or explore that look interesting or inspiring. The temperature is chilly, the foliage is all gone, and the sky is often slate grey. We recently found a short trail that is different from any other I’ve come across in the area. The Beaverdam Boardwalk, in Madison, AL is only about .5 mile, so it is not a long walk. This is good for cold days when I do not want to be out for very long anyway. On a trail, which is actually a boardwalk through wetlands, the atmosphere made me think of Louisiana swamps and Anne Rice novels. It is eerie, slightly unsettling, and beautifully mysterious. A low mist over the water could have been either a nice touch or just enough to send me back to my car. The area is a frequent stop for birders, and we passed a few on our way back. They were a welcome sight, reminding me that we were not truly that far from civilization. This is a good place to go in the dreary days of January and February. I do not know if I will be back when the weather is warm. Fear of snakes and mosquitoes will make me wait until winter again. Where do you go and what do you do that motivates you to go outside in the winter?
