October 6th 2017: A Day Off in Connecticut

I started my day off in the town of Southbridge,
Hamilton Woolen Company, 19 Mill Street
Wells Pond,  491 Eastford Road 
heading into the town of Woodstock CT,
Camp Woodstock YMCA
Upper Bungee Lake, 41.955159, -72.061561
Church of the Good Shepherd
going for a hike at Camp Nahaco Park, where the path I took to explore the area is shown below in pink.
Crystal Pond was beautiful this sunny day,

as was Trout Pond, though less so.
From here, it was on to the town of Eastford CT,
Eastford Elementary School
Town Hall, 16 Westford Road
Veterans Memorial, 179 Eastford Road
Eastford Public Library
Congregational Church of Eastford
checking out the small water body on the Boston Turnpike Trail on Crams Road.
Next, the town of Ashford CT,
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Ashford Academy,
N Road and Ashford Center Road
Old Building,
Nagy Road and Boston Hollow Road

going for a hike at the Josias Byles Sanctuary, where the path I took to get to the viewpoints here are shown below in pink.

There were no views to be had, but at least there was some wildlife around,
although I got lost for quite a bit, only realizing my mistake comparing my GPS to the trail map.

A little waste of a hike and time.

With that, I called it a day, heading back into Massachusetts for a quick bite at the Village Hotdog in Sturbridge,
getting the Junkyard Dog (coney sauce, coleslaw, bacon, cheese, pickle, ketchup, yellow mustard).
Pretty good treat to end a pretty productive day.
