| From Christian's house to and through Wachusett Meadows Audubon Sanctuary on Goodnow Rd. as far as large beaver created swamp then through the forest on a loop around the swamp and through a recently burned area. I made him a sticky Red Sox cap and between the 2 of us we captured more than forty FDFs and neither of us got bitten. Great day of bonding with #1 son. |

| Bicycle commute from Charter Oak Park in Manchester to work in Hartford and back. About 13 miles each way - mostly on the East Coast Greenway, some roads. Great weather. |

| Short, early ride to see recent changes in Liberty Croft. Feet are still too sore for running.
AOWN: The blueberry and raspberry harvest has begun. The local catbird gang is really pissed that I covered the fruit this year so I could have some for myself. I've seen them pecking at the netting and they scold me while I'm picking. Also, saw a fox running away from the raspberries. A thief? I know the dogs eat the low berries so I suppose the fox might like them too.
Snagged 8 FDF's with the sticky hat in 20 minutes of picking. |

| Left hash house at 5:50 for another attempt at 77 after being told by Eric that "there was something wrong with the map in that area", and hearing from others that the control was well south of the circle. Got it with no problem and then moved on to the north where we blew 30 minutes searching wrong streams for 73 and then missing 66 on the first attack and taking another 20 min. to relocate. Next few controls went better and then we missed 42 on our stagger back to the finish and didn't have time to try again. Ended up 10th overall out of 19 teams. Minor cuts, bruises, aches and pains compared to previous rogaines. |
