Arrival at Cape Cod, October 19th

October 19th - When I arrived at the Canal (The Big Ditch) I saw something dead on the road near where the herring run passes under the highway. I walked back and saw that it was a mink. Last time I was at this spot I found otter tracks above the herring run on the west (mainland) side of the canal.
