Perfect weather and gorgeous trails with the thrill of Joe Herrick’s Gulf, a peculiar, deep, straight sided, scary geological reminder of the earth being pushed and pulled together as it formed. Alas, I pulled my back just before we started out, so I was dosed up with Advil, a masaage from one of the hikers once trained in acupuncture, and the use of two hiking poles, but unable to take pictures. Here’s one photo taken of a Great Blue Heron that we watched catching its lunch while we had a picnic and hand cranked ice cream at the Conway Pond. We’re thinking the heron might be one from the Heron nest we watched this summer out on the Whately Road. Off to bed, hopeful of waking up in better condition tomorrow. Stay well! Penny
