Day 2

Yesterday's walk, though of shorter duration, did have some memorable points. We walked along a river/creek that look like it would have been nice for canoeing. There were also views of a small lake, and several babbling streams. We passed a small cemetery that was 15 feet above the level of the road; you had to climb a set of old stone stairs to get up to it. There was a cute little state park on the afore mentioned lake where we took a bio break. And shortly before we reached the inn, views of Okemo mountain. The final stretch of road had hundreds of moths of it. These little orange moths would skitter in all directions as we walked. They were all over the wild flowers on the sides of the road as well. It was fun watching them dance around. We got a better look at them once we were at the inn, as they were fluttering around the plantings, and us as we sat on the porch, and seemed particularly fond of the thyme plant, which they covered. It turned out quite a pleasant day despite the dire predictions of hail, lightning and heavy downpours. - Mike
