Squannacook River WMA, In The Dark. I started at the Pumpkin Brook parking, which I'd driven past a number of times but hadn't checked out. One direction went to a small footbridge (over a creek that's currently dry), but on the other side of it there was nothing but woods. The other way went to a field that was full of prickly weeds. But then I found a third trail... that went to another part of the same field. So then I went down the street to the other gate, and that had a trail that crossed a similar footbridge but kept going. But it was awfully small, and kept getting smaller and eventually was just heading for a back yard.

So back out to the road and in through the usual parking area. North all the way to NEBS, then south all the way to Squannacook Road, and then back to the car. Warm evening, quite comfortable.

Hardly any ticks this year, but then two today. The first one was a real mystery, on my ear this morning, and the other after the ride, on my lower back. Both still crawling, both pretty small.
