To Nathan Hale Homestead and back to combine my exercise for the day with a visit to the home of a great patriot who gave his life for a brand new country. Had a fun moment waving to the young guys from Hytone Farm who were racing back home on four antique tractors that had had some part in the town's Memorial Day Parade. The tractors appeared to be very nearly uncontrollable at 30 mph.
