The Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail in Truro has so much to see with its great views. This was so pretty hiking out toward the dunes through the woods. Depending on when you go, it is frequently quiet and secluded. Some people have said that this is the best hike on the Outer Cape!

Ballston Beach In Truro On Cape Cod.
Ballston Beach in Truro is such beautiful beach which has changed so dramatically in the past decade. You can see on the left side of the first photograph where it broke through the dunes in 2013, but better in the 2nd photo. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“For two days in February of 2013, a blizzard packing hurricane force winds pounded Cape Cod. One of the areas that suffered the most damage was Ballston Beach, a popular spot on Truro’s Atlantic-facing coastline. When high tide struck on the evening of February 8, the storm surge broke through the dunes, pushing water from the ocean all the way back to the Upper Pamet River Valley.” Wow! What a story!
Last winter we all watched that house (not in the photograph) on Ballston Beach teetering on the dunes in a bad winter storm, only to be moved to safer ground. Does anyone know if it was located nearby?

Beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
We were driving out of the upper parking lot at Fort Hill the other day when Phil said,” What’s that up in that tree?” It looked like a white buoy or plastic bag stuck up there.
But, as we got closer, I realized that it was a Red-tailed Hawk perched way up on top of the tree. It looked almost like an ornament on top of a Christmas tree. How beautiful…
Pamet Harbor In Truro On Cape Cod.
We had never been to Pamet Harbor, so we took a ride up there the other day. It was so pretty with their vast beaches and secluded salt marshes and this beautiful dock that extended way out into the harbor.
It must look so different in season when it is crowded with boats and people. You can see all of the moorings waiting for their boats…
