Cherry and Beth’s hiking adventures

20 05 2012

Cherry and I hiked on Friday for the first time in months. We got rained out of a previous date and then Cherry’s sister had eye surgery, so she wasn’t available. But Friday, sunny with a cool start, was a perfect day for an excursion. We decided to drop frustrating Cockaponsett, at least for a while, and explore Field Forest, owned by Connecticut Forest & Park Association, in Durham.

Wearing newly-delegated-to-hiking pants, Cherry explained her hairdresser had found a tick a few weeks prior, so she was wearing lighter pants. (Interestingly, I discovered a tick the following day on my left calf at my sock line.) Off we went, with much to discuss.

“Happy New Year,” Cherry and I exclaimed simultaneously as we met at Wade’s Country Market in Deep River for our next round of hiking at Cockaponset. She got into my car and we set off for the trailhead on Route 145. We started on the green trail that hugged the northern perimeter of this parcel. At 40 degrees and cloudy, it was significantly cooler than yesterday but still above average for the end of January. Check out the rest at: Beth Lapin’s Cockaponset Blog

Having finished hiking the 57-mile Mattabesett Trail, we decide to tackle the trails at Cockaponset State Forest. At more than 16,000 acres, it is the second largest state forest, located in both Middlesex and New Haven counties. Check out the new Cockaponset blog!
