Walk with Colette on Jerusalem Road in Tyringham, an out-and-back. Another beautiful day and a bit warmer, too.

After-dinner walk with Colette on the condo grounds.

Hike on The Finger trail to the north of Reservoir Road. It's been a long time since I've been able to complete the entire trail, but I did manage it today.

Beautiful, sunny weather; not too hot, with a nice, cooling breeze on the hilltops. Saw four mountain bikers and one bear. I practically walked into the bear, as I had my head down staring at the trail. Fortunately, I looked up when he was about ten yards away--he looked at me, turned around, trotted away for a couple of steps, and then walked on top of a fallen tree for 20' or so, got off that and looked around at me. I continued my hike and the bear continued being a bear. ;-) I actually think it was the same one I saw about a week ago, judging by its demeanor.

Two recordings of the route, as I accidently shut my watch off when I meant to pause it while I had to look for my cellphone. It went flying when I took my vest off to get something in the rear compartment.

Walk with Colette up Golden Hill into Lenox Dale and then past Woods Pond before heading home. A beautiful warm day with some cloud cover, but whenever the sun broke through, we were too warm all of a sudden.

Walk with Colette out to Woods Pond and back. Very windy today, with a light drizzle at times; not very pleasant actually.

Hike on the bike trails to the south of Reservoir Road. This is the same loop that I did last Thursday and is 6.5 miles long. Today I decided to put a little more effort into the hike as I wondered if I could get under two hours if I tried.
And I did, so I'll count this time as my PR.

Hike with Colette in The Boulders, an out-and-back. Beautiful sunny day with a temp near 49°F. The trails were pretty dry, save for a couple of normally damp areas.

Hike in Kennedy Park, I did a slight variation of my usual five-mile loop. There were a lot of people in the park today, for a Monday. Couple of women hiking, two couples hiking, a single man, and father with his daughter. And one mountain biker. All, save for the biker, were practicing social distancing to the extreme, or was I foaming at the mouth? ;-)
