Event: CSU Park-O 4: Peter's Hill
 

Rainy, umbrella DP. Walked to point where moose carcass was some 6 wks ago. By now, even the corn from the moose's stomach is gone. Nothing but 5 plastic gloves, 3 blue 2 yellow - waiting for a 'forest steward' such as myself to pick them up. Spring cleanup time around now. More yellow DPW trucks than one could shake a stick at - got out not a moment too soon. Still, req'd treats to get dogs to act lively re getting into car.

"If a person is racing to win, carrying out trash, stacking cups, depositing things nicely is not their priority, and why should it be?

If they are out for a nice hike in the woods, I might expect a little more concern for the environment."

Between the racing to win and the nice hike is this graceful curve:

Walk to the start from the '83 O-Ringen.

Gray, rainy, blah-inducing day. Fought back & overcame, for a period at least. Returned to Penacook Resevoir to continue the path I had to turn back on about a month ago. It continued fairly high above the water visible through the leaves, crossed a gorgeous stream on a wooden bridge under old hemlocks but never approached shore. At one point, a clear way down to the water invited. It seemed a poignant moment having a Lake Solitude, forested in a gray and green world, to myself. Continued on to the waterworks briefly along an old path remnant then an SVT.
