as I find and explore nearby land trust properties. In the past few weeks, I have begun exploring over 2000 mostly wooded acres, parcels bought by towns and organizations to remain open spaces. Today's hike was the most urban, partly following power lines upwards and along a rocky ridge.
It's hard to decide how far is enough, I love doing this so much. Time restraints dictate 3-5 miles before I have to head back to work. Taking the time out of my day to be outdoors, seeing new things, exercising and calming my mind is the best thing I do for myself.
Today was easy. When the trail hit the lip of the quarry, it was a perfect midpoint.

That’s a beautiful spot.
You get some great walks in. I try to explore a bit on the weekends. And I can sometimes catch a quick walk after work since it’s staying light out longer.
Is that an old chimney and hearth? Imagine working that rocky ground by hand, for a living….
I love finding old chimneys in the woods!
I know you’re using your Fitbit, but have you considered using a phone app to log your hike? Allsports GPS is a good one, you upload the hike to their website (you can choose to keep it private) and it gives you exact mileage, elevation change, etc. I plug the numbers into a calculator I found online and it gives a good estimate of calories burned. Let me know if you want the link!
