Connecticut Hill WMA with Dave B — The Wedge
Another great walk in this big wilderness area — some of the time, there didn’t seem to be any discernible footpath at all and it seemed like we were just walking through trackless woods — but it turned out Dave did have a plan and we had a delightful time
Very shady under the trees and I didn’t bother trying to get any shots in the woods
Somehow I managed to get this chiaroscuro shot on one of he dirt roads — I like the drama of it, and the variety of expressions
As some of you know, I like to wrap up our hikes in two hours — precisely, if possible — this has given me a little bit of a reputation as a cuckoo but I don’t care — Dave is on board with this concept in general and I’m always curious to see how close he can come on these Connecticut Hill walks — it’s a great challenge in timing and pacing because his hikes are always loops, not in and out
….. One hour 58 minutes and 15 seconds
Official head count: 21H, six D
Sunday Sept 18
Six Mile Creek, north side, Mulhollard Wildflower Preserve to Potter’s Falls
Official head count: 32H, four D
I felt some pressure to get back to the cars very close to two hours in light of Dave’s great hike timing performance the day before — made it back in 1:58:45 — but most of the group chose to push on beyond Potter’s Falls, our regular turn-around point, and walk up the very exciting narrow cliff-face trail to the upper dam — no way to do that and finish the hike in two hours.
