Assisted my friends from the Hanover Conservancy today in maintaining one of our town’s great trail systems in the Mayor-Niles Forest! Starting at 0900, we spent the next two hours updating (and adding) yellow blazes on the Two Brooks Trail. We also raked leaves off the trail so we could find roots or rocks that might need to be removed. This latter task seemed like a metaphor for several futilities of life but, I was assured, it served to prevent hikers from getting lost. Maybe… Regardless, I’m glad I could help improve our community, while simultaneously exploring a new trail near my home and enjoying the outside on a nice Fall day!
