I like to temper hiking with riding my bike
Long ago road biking got too scary to be fun, so I turned to mountain biking. Unfortunately, that isn’t really much fun any more; trees and rocks seem to have gotten harder and roots more slippery and bruises slower to heal. ☹

Tourists swarming the NH North Country like a horde of locusts, mud and snow at our usual accommodations, barely recovering here at home from an unexpected Spring blizzard. And committments on Sunday, Monday evening and Tuesday.
Drive 6+ hours to watch the eclipse? Erm, no. Plenty of people did, and I do envy them - ever so slightly, though, cause we had a .... Blasty day ;)
We decided a 15 mile trip to a friendly pub worked better for us .....

Last few days before the beach at the refuge is closed for bird nesting season; we wanted to see what the refuge is like.

Another walk in the Park. I love Bear Brook SP :)
But ... the trails nearest me had started to look a little overly familiar.
I hadn't been to the old UNH OC Cabin for some time, nor on the Old South Rd trail. And I wanted to explore the Out And Back trail.
It looked like they would make a good loop.
Fortunately, I took the Old South Rd trail to the cabin first.

<sigh> another hot, humid day.
But you either seize the day or not hike.

Nobody else at the Alton Mt Rd trailhead.
Trailhead now has a kiosk and signs ... civilization continues to creep up 
No alternative if we're to keep access,and not see things spoiled by the clueless or inconsiderate. I get it.
Oh well, happy to still have the woods & trails !
