Hike with Colette combined with seaching for a couple of geocaches. We parked at the junction of New Lenox and Roaring Brook Roads and started by getting a geocache just off of Roaring Brook. Next geocache was north of New Lenox Road, but we failed to find that.

After that we just followed some trails winding through the flats before heading back to our car.

Hike on the rail trail in Housatonic, but statrting near the Sportsmans Club and doing two out-and-backs; first by heading south and then by heading north.

Not a soul to be seen on this beautiful morning.

Hike in Kennedy Park. Quite a few people on the trails today.

My knee was not enjoying the trail today. Time to get back to the NSAID?

Walk out past Woods Pond and back home via Crystal, Willow Hill and Bradley to the condo.

Rather humid after the morning heavy rain, and the sun was popping out making it almost unpleasantly warm.

Hike at Art Omi in Ghent while Colette was doing an Adventure Lab Cache, also at Omi. I just wandered around looking at all the various sculptures, architectural projects, etc., on the grounds. Omi covers three hundred acres, so the projects are widely separated from each other, although grouped by themes to some extent.

There weren't a ton of people on the grounds, so social distancing wasn't too hard to achieve.

After-dinner walk with Colette to the black cows and back. Getting rather muggy ahead of tomorrow's expected thunderstorms.

Out-and-back hike from the southern end of Woods Pond. Bugs are becoming moe aggressive and frequent.

Seems that I spooked a mama bear and her cub as I was on my return leg; mama was going uphill like a bat on fire, but the cub chose the vertical route and was clamoring up the nearest tree. Note to self: Never think, even for a second, that you might out-run a bear.

Forgot my watch, so I had to use an app today to record my hike.

And much to my surprise, the knee felt fine today, almost back to normal. Perhaps that Anaprox last night helped a lot.

Hike on the bike trails to the south of Reservoir Road. Beautiful day with low humidity and a nice breeze, which kept the bugs away nicely.

Alas, I may have been a bit to eager to do some hilly trails--the knee wasn't particularly happy on the downhills. Will have to stick to more gentle terrain for a few days.
