Hike Ku for Naskatucket Beach
After miles of trail
stony beach is our reward
We don't have to share
Hike Ku for Destruction Brook
3 colors, 3 boys
meet by Broadway's old stone ghosts
as Sasha runs away
Hike Ku for Slocum River
Between these stone walls
coy Monarchs play hard to get
Photo ops abound
Lost hiking time that is. We headed out very early to the south shore for three - count em - three of the 60/60 hikes. S- decided that since our hiking in Vermont had been seriously truncated we should go for 2 60/60 each day this week. Being the over achieving hiker type that I am, we went for three in spite of the forecasted 90 degree day and the triple E mosquito borne illness threat. The first part of Slocum River was lovely, marsh and estuary but the rest of it - feh. In the woods, boggy, swampy, buggy green. And with the exception of the beach and meadow at Nasatucket, the rest of the dozen or so miles we hiked, also very woodsy. I've decided my favorite season in the woods is winter followed closely by (of course) autumn during the foliage season. Summer, not so much - just a lot of green. 12 miles of green.
