Sandy Neck is a natural recreation and preservation space located on the southern side of Cape Cod Bay in the town of Barnstable in the state of Massachusetts. It has many trails that wind through a vast marsh housing many nesting areas for Ospreys and other local birds. Moreover, sand dunes separate the beach from the marsh in a unique composition of plantation, climate and scenery.

Shadows’ Journey In…. Timbuckhilltoo

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Kinan Faham

This was a hike/walk with "Walks & Rambles In RI" meetup group.

We visited the area known as Buck Hill Management Area in the northwestern corner of RI. The trails used to be old wagon roads used for commuting and are now the paths that walk the visitor through a few ponds, grain fields and the remains of the original settlement houses(you could see a chimney, fence,..etc in the video).
We also passed by the tri-state marker that shows where Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut meet in the area.
According to the organizer, we followed Ken Weber’s 28th hike trails from his "Weekend Hikes in Rhode Island" book.

The music played in the video clip is:

1- At First It Was Chaos… by Anam Fior

2- Anam Fior by Anam Fior:

3- Our Great War’s a spiritual war, our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been… by Anam Fior.

4- Fecunda by Emanuele Errante
This track appears on The Silent Ballet Volume 9

5- Two Halves Of A Line by Last Days:
which also appears on The Silent Ballet Volume 6

Please support the musicians by buying their music.
