Wednesday I was able to get out for nearly two hours, enjoying a whole new set of trails from my previous trip to Borderlands. The weather was a pleasant chilly drizzle, something that as a desert dweller I found to be absolutely delightful. Apparently, the locals don't see it the same way and this otherwise-popular state park was mine to enjoy alone. The leaves have long-since fallen and I enjoyed tones of grey and rust as I splooshed through the woods. Each time I reached a junction, I opted for the longer route until I ended up making a loop about twice as long as I had planned.
There's supposed to be a parking or use fee, and I didn't realize that and didn't have a pass. My out-of-state plates would be a dead giveaway to any patrol driving by, so I was relieved when I arrived back at the car to find a windshield free of any envelopes.

Thursday morning, I joined Amy and Julie on a nice walk from the house across town and into the Clifford G Grant Management Area, which adjoins the Easton Town Forest. It's actually a little bit impressive how much public space this town has managed to squeeze into an old, densely populated New England town. There's not much in the way of elevation, but for a backyard walk, no complaints either. |
