June 24, 2022: Today’s joyous vagary included a loop trail at Boot Head Preserve, and three Cobscook Shores trails: Pike Lands Trail, Huckins Beach Trail, and East Loop Trail. In all, 5.5 miles of trails were joyously hiked. The majority of the day was overcast, with temps in the 60’s.

Lovely undergrowth along the trail.
More puncheons.
What was once lost by one was found by someone else. Nice Karma!
