2.5 miles on beautiful hiking trails with perfect late October weather. Tom noticed a porcupine way up in a tree and we enjoyed watching it do nothing (as they seem to like doing best!) for a while. An unusual field of hickory trees with a long view and lots of interesting stones: some with mica and many with mineral formations such as we see in Hawley Crowfoot stone. The forest was crisscrossed with New England stone walls… most date from around 1775 into 1825. We have such love for them and always imagine the men building them and wish we could talk to them. There was a new bench (and a photo op) when we finally got to the long view. Back down to the road there’s a pond where the beavers are vusy getting ready for winter. Pretty soon we’ll all be dong that too! With love from Penny
