Today's Hike (Saturday):
Gypsy and I met up with her neighbor to hike the far northern section of Shenipsit State Forest where it ends in Connecticut and starts in Massachusetts. DL's family has owned a piece of property on the MA side of Shenipsit since the 1920's. We were out for 3 hours or so and had a great time, identifying plants and talking the geology and history of the area as well as investigating the area around a couple beaver ponds. I was happily engrossed quite often spotting foundation plantings and investigating the area until we found the foundations. We were also quite happy to spot a Great Blue Heron on our way back to the trailhead at one of the ponds.
