Protocol: Traveling
4.0 kilometer(s)
Comments: OSBC Walk, with Danielle Crudden, Dick and Marge Bradley, Dian Kriz, Jacqui Nye, and Joanne Conklin. Lots of wildflowers as well: Starflower, Gaywings, Pink Lady's Slipper, Lance-leaved Violet, other violets. Walked from Peck Pond to Richardson Pond and back (the usual hike), and then put some effort into seeing the Blackburnians. Mosquitos brutal at times, other times mild. 65 °F, sunny, pleasant breeze.
