Breaking The Sound Barrier

It was 4.8 miles of lovely scenery and nice people to chat with. Milford’s physical beauty, especially its shorefront, is stunning. You can experience Day 2 of the Breaking the Sound Barrier project at www.connpost.com

Alex and Madeline had us in for refreshments on their porch, facing the Sound in Wildermere Beach.
Just a mile to go and so far no rain.

Two hours in and we’re at the midway point Drying off our feet and putting our shoes back on

Amanda and B.K. are back in the newsroom writing stories and editing photos. Day One turned out well, although it did take longer than expected.
On Sunday, Frank Juliano will be finishing the Milford section of our trek. He’ll cover the area from Milford Harbor to Milford Point.

Here’s a video taken by Amanda and B.K. on their adventures in Breaking the Sound Barrier.

So, after five hours and God knows how many miles (I was initially told that my leg of the walk was four miles, but I’m pretty sure that was a blatant lie), we are done. Yaaaaay!!!!
My feet and back are killing me, but I do feel like I accomplished something. I’m on way back to the office to write the full account of my adventures, so stay tuned.

It’s now noon, and we’re entering our fourth hour of the Sound walk. If I’m not mistaken, we’re in the Point Beach area. Who knows where Gulf Beach (our supposed end point) is or if we will ever get there. Plus I think I just heard thunder. Yikes!

Walking the Milford shoreline on hazy Saturday morning, you’ll see lots of things — ducks, egrets — even those Monk parakeets. You know what you won’t see a lot of? People. Seriously — there is almost no one here. Just the odd fisherman, dog walker or guy hosing down his driveway. It’s peaceful, but a bit spooky.

So, around 8 a.m., we started our jorney along the Long Island Sound in Milford. It’s now about 10 a.m., and we’re not even halfway through. Oof. We just finished walking through the Woodmont area. It’s a beautiful area full of history and wildlife. However, I won’t get into that now because I have a LOT more walking to do and it looks like rain. Gotta go.
