Such a great story. Just goes to show – what you set your mind to – you can do!
Bears in Concord
Reading the headlines today and saw this: [screenshot]
Where was I on Saturday morning? School Street is right next to my street.
An excellent article by David Brooks at the Concord Monitor said that more sighting of bears in Concord has been the norm but no human interaction. Thank goodness. “Eventually the ursine family wandered off, presumably into the nearby woods behind Concord Hospital.” Just where I love to run. See post where I ran into most likely that same ursine family.
Ragged Mountain hike
Today I hiked Ragged Mountain
Here is a view looking south on the trail to Mount Kearsarge:
Merrimack River Outdoor Education & Conservation Area hike
Thursday, May 24 Kendra and I took our dogs on the most beautiful hike at the Merrimack River Outdoor Education & Conservation Area on Portsmouth St in Concord. The mosquitos were awful but the hike was fantastic. We saw so many kids and dogs on our hike and no one (but me) seemed to be bothered by the bugs.
It’s a flat, tree-filled hike and I highly recommend it.
