More so-called "training" which will have to do for now. We (Beth, Mocha and grandkids) walked to Nottingcook's Great Hill summit which indeed has great views after the selective logging last summer. Yesterday's wind dropped a non-selected tree right on top of a "view bench".

Got a missed call from Cleveland Clinic yesterday. Looking forward to getting a leaky heart valve repaired and removing the quotes from the word "training" above. And O competition as a resurrected prospect.

November's maypole

With Mocha in Nottingcook - parked in front of the Arena. Got Snow hunting these days - still there, 10 years later. It was surprisingly warm. I was overdressed. Brown, bare, beautiful landscape. Took the old road up to the more southern exit - softwoods have grown high and weeds have nearly closed off and hidden parts of the road.

To Kimball Pond with Beth & Mocha. Turned very windy as afternoon progressed. Pleased to see how M held up and also crossed the damn like a trooper.

Walk around White Park area - did not use last winter for skiing. Bare grass and corn field is very different. There was some kind of white powder on grass & field that led me to get off it - who knows. Did not turn the 310 off as I left parking. This was the first time I used the watch since 10/19. Gpx file transferred this time. I was ready to consult the AP thread but the issue self-cured.

Two miles at BHS, the second one on the track. Warm & sunny. Stopped by Turee to check reflections etc. A good day for a kayak paddle but couldn't fit it in. Big day, too, in that it was Election Day.

OJR boundary walk with Ken. Got to the PL & he wanted to return to look for a lost glove which he did find. Thought he'd also lost his cell phone but that was back in his house - so all in all, a good outcome. Really fine November pm. This morning, found a hunter's stand either just on or just off our property and the small, rotten footbridge over the brook has been rebuilt. Now am motivated to see where the actual boundary is. The stand is within 150 yards or less from three houses which I find objectionable. Wed starts rifle hunting season for deer.

Maybe you've seen this link by now? It might point out some possibilities that suit you.
Iceland is very keen on catering to its tourists. I'd guess in winter, too -- though far fewer of them. Lots of dark at the Arctic Circle but Sweden is quite north.
