Marshall Rd, Fitchburg, MA. In an effort to continue to expend my lifemap beyond the towns I've already finished, J-J and I did a loop around Hollis HIll Farm, collecting some trash and trying to avoid the black flies. Added bonus of having dinner at the Farm afterwards and listening to some not-the-best country music.

Valley Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, Shirley. Probably a bit of trespassing here as I didn't really remember where the parking was, and parked at the actual Valley Farm, not the conservation area but it was fun to explore the pretty farm buildings. Very cool shed! Saw a very populated heron rookery as well.

Pheasant Ridge Conservation Area and Squannacook Brook State Forest, Townssend. Lovely morning to continue my exploration of the area without a real idea of where I was.
Squannacook Brook State Forest, Townsend. Unlike J-J, I rarely head out without knowing exactly where I'm going with a map (phone) in hand. This was an exception that worked out ok. But the mosquitos chased me out.
