Harborfest Hike

Yesterday we hiked 3.3 miles over hill and dale in Port Washington. It was Harborfest. We parked pretty far away. We wanted to go on a harbor tour but the people giving the tour were not very organized or informative. We didn't know we had to sign up. They should have an official website for next years 'fest with more information on it. We also hiked down Central Drive and back up again. Here is a map of our days walk:
