Comments
Comments: Hiking local ... Since we knew the direct route to Great Hill would be crowded (and it was), we quickly left Hamilton's Path and bushwhacked over to Nancy's Trail, and then saw no one for the rest of the hike. We just kind of made up a route as we went, mixing in a few bushwhacks here and there to make things more direct, visiting some the great features this wonderful forest has to offer. By the time we arrived back at Great Hill, everyone had gone home.

Trails here are mainly dry with just some minor mud in spots. It was a recuperative day for both the mind and body amidst the general uncertainty in the world right now.
