A nice day

Went to Kent Falls State Park , always nice ... they put up some new stone sitting area near base of falls .... I thought it used to be all natural ....that kind of is the suck .....but anyway ...Kent is a beautiful area ...we did a nearby hike ...the  AT , about 2.5 miles...then went to Macedonia State Park ...ate Loris` Salmon Pasta salad in front of a rushing creek .... we hiked 1.5 miles there .... on way home , stopped at Mount Tom ---grabbed a blanket ...went by the water ...fished for a minute ...then I took a nap while Lori read and watched the chipmunks and robins chase eachother around..
Gonna take her out for her birthday dinner.  Might do Bin 228 ...wine bar and apps.

SEE AMC's Best Day Hikes in Connecticut - Rock Spring Preserve or see bottom for description

appx 4 mile hike ... Found a geocache (see geocaching.com for explanation) called the Council of the pines where there were a few symmetrical rows of tall pine trees ....neat view especially the way the light came thru the trees .. we were expecting elves to emerge from this ordained to be sacred spot
wonderful trail but a bit overgrown ...avoid late summer early fall on a wet day...Our clothes were official dew collectors ... We could`ve squeezed life giving H20 to quench the thirst of an entire tribe out of our pants.

We had a nice picnic as the sun came out.. We took our blanket out and ate a nice salad with blue cheese and strawberries and some cheese and crackers . TIFLM...
So other than the creepy white fuzzy haired caterpillar that insisted on marching onto our blanket it was real nice.
We drove home up historic rt 169 admiring the changing leaves ....flew down RT 44 home , showered , changed and headed to Shea`s Bar and Grill 4 a beer and Jets football. Would have been the crowning moment of a great day had the Jets won..
