June 19th 2020: Tucker Brook Town Forest, Milford NH

Today, we decided to go for a hike at the Tucker Brook Town Forest in Milford NH to look for the Tucker Brook Falls. The path we took is shown below in pink.

Nice sheltered walk through the woods,

although it was a pity that there was not much water flow today at the Tucker Brook Falls, but good enough I guess.

June 13th 2020: Gaspee Point, Warwick RI

Today, we decided to go check out a beach we thought would be less populated, Gaspee Point in Warwick RI. A slight walk from the small parking lot to the beach,

but nice one at that,

with Conimicut Light in the distance

and live horseshoe crabs swimming around.

June 6th 2020: Getting Jonah Crabs in Gloucester

Today, after getting some Jonah Crabs from Cape Ann Lobstermen in Gloucester,

we decided to go check out Brace Cove at the end of Brace Cove

on the opposite side of Niles Pond

 although I have realized it is a private beach.

May 30th 2020: Spending the Day in Cohasset

In search of a beach today, we decided to head to the town of Cohasset. We checked out several places in town,

Giuggio Overlook Conservation Area

Veterans Park

Paul Pratt Memorial Library

especially the downtown area.

Second Congregational Church

First Church Unitarian Universalist

Cohasset Common,
Win B Long Road and Highland Avenue

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

We also checked out Bassing Beach in Scituate from afar, which can only be accessed by boat.

and Government Island Park at the end of Government Island Road, which was full of people today.

Beautiful day to be out and about by the beach.

May 16th 2020: Waterfalls in New Ipswich NH and Wilton NH

Today, we decided to go look for some waterfalls in New Hampshire. Our first waterfall was Kangas Falls in New Ipswich NH, found on the Furnace Brook Trail at ~411 Turnpike Road. From the road itself, one can already see the water fall from the top, but I ventured down on the trail, initially not finding the way to the falls, but eventually I backtracked to near the beginning where there was a side path to the falls, which is more a dam of sorts.

Next, it was off to Wilton NH, where we decided to look for the Batchelder Falls, located off King Brook Road at roughly 42.796568, -71.795592. One has to climb down a very steep hill in order to see the falls in their full splendor.

Definitely better than Kangas Falls, but hard to get to. I thought I would not be able to get back out onto the road.

Our next destination was the Heald Tract area nearby, where the path we took to get to Batchelder Pond on the Camp Trail is shown below in pink. 

Short, but decent views of the pond.

With that, we headed for home. A good day for checking out waterfalls.
