Comments
Comments: Still one of our favorite afternoon walks at this time of year -- few, if any, people on the trails; beavers active at Goose Pond; trees are leafed out and trails are shady; temperatures perfect. Bugs are the only issue, and they can be dealt with; the nice breeze yesterday helped.
