Meghan, Alpha, and I have started hiking the Harold Parker State Forest today. It’s pretty big, it should tide us over for the spring.
Our first leg was beautiful.
Apparently there are beaver in that pond:

The trails in the HP connect with a ring of trails around metro Boston, the Bay Circuit. It’s 200 miles from end to end, so we’ll be hiking it for a few years to come.
Its a nice replacement for our old hiking project, along the Hop River Trail. The four of us hiked from Willimantic to Manchester over the course of a year, the Bay Circuit should take a bit longer.
