Rachel's new house in Reading. Much of the moving was already complete and mainly I just needed to bring stuff up to the second floor and offer guidance.

Mass Audubon's Rocky Hill Wildlife Sanctuary. Completed the trail system at this sight before the grocery store. Really pretty area in the beautiful weather.

Barely anything. Heat and Humidity have neve been my friend, but this week really got me. Going back to closer to full time work hasn't helped either. At least we only have one more month of summer. Hopeful for better in August.

Better than nothing, but not much. In the Dim. Wandering around the Village at Stone Ridge. It was getting dark, so couldn't really find the trails that I knew were there. I'll have a better picture next time.

Greystone Conservation Area and roads, Westford. Need to bring Capone back as I saw a fun little beaver family swimming in on of the old quarries of the area.
Time Approximate. Moving Stephen from Hartford to Middletown, CT. He lived in on the second floor and new place is on the thrid. Neither had elevators. Hot and humid day so pretty miserable, really.
J Harry Rich State Forest, Groton, with J-J. Waited until almost dark to get some exercise on this very hot day. Turned out quite good and saw lots of herons.

Duck Pond Conservation Area and Skinner Forest, Groton. An extension of the hike I did on Tuesday evening. Happy to have gotten out early (for me that is) on a Saturday and quite enjoyed the views of the ponds on this lovely summer morning.

Rocky Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, Mass Audubon. Had printed a map of the trails (very basic) off of the website, which was good to swat away the bugs for much of the hike. Still managed to wander off on an indistinct unmapped trail for a bit. Was disappointed not to see more heron nests in the advertised Heron Rockery.
