Two Hour Hike!

Drew knows the best hiking spots. He goes on all different trails around the Connecticut shoreline area, so it's always a great perk when our schedules mesh and he can show me a new portion of Connecticut's pristine woods. This time, it was in Killington, across from Chatfield Hollow, called Forster Pond State Park. For the brisk afternoon, we followed the beautiful trail around the park and saw not another soul. Magical.

Here are two former OSHS Ecology Club members, Drew and Jason.



Little Eliott was a total trooper -- he navigated the mountain with melted snow soaking the perilous trail and still was giggly through and through.



We saw many leafless oak, beech and hickory trees. Also, we passed a water powered gristmill along the stream below that was used in the late 1800's.



Here are Drew, me and Dave sitting on a very wet, spongy spot!
