Soldier's Point: A Moment in Nature

The "bridge" is just one of the fantastic parts of this amazing hike.
A brief shower of rain last Sunday morning did not dampen the spirits on the EAG - Environmental Awareness Group's - "Moments in Nature" field trip. The group met in the Half Moon Bay parking lot, and followed the Soldier's Point trail around the southern point of the bay, identifying flora along the way using the "Guide to Plant; Historic Sites on the Trails" by Chris Pratt. After a steep incline, the trail levels out to view a stunning rock/bridge formation, to which Devil's Bridge cannot compare. Robby Breadner of 365Antigua.com instructed the group on camera exposure settings to adjust to the dim light of the 35-foot cave/dungeon, and the bright sunlight that filtered through the clouds. On the way back, the group collected several bags of rubbish along the coast and in front of the abandoned Half Moon Bay hotel. We encourage the public to join us on the next nature and photography field trip on Sunday, February 28th. Contact the EAG (462-6236) or keep watch on this website for more information.
