Hike-odometer Hit 3000 Mikes Hiked in "Quabbin"



Well, here it is mid- June 2019 . It was about eight years ago I started consistently hiking “ The Quabbin “weekends looking to rack up hiking miles. This week the hike-odometer did roll over to three thousand miles hiked within the boundaries of The Quabbin Reservoir Reservation. How do I know that, each hike starts with setting my GPS ,tracking the miles, then recording each day’s data and wildlife sightings .Sounds kind of crazy doesn’t it! The quest for the miles wasn’t even a thought early on. Hiking while learning to use a camera was the primary focus and most outings provided some sort of wildlife to take a picture of.
Reaching the three-thousand-mile milestone isn’t a real accomplishment . Heck, it took eight years to do it! The real achievement was the constant hiking which put me in a situations to see wildlife that most people will never experience.
Where does it go from here ?
Took Friday off from work and spent the day hiking to camera trap sets. Trail cameras have been busy. I am trying to capture a picture of a cow and calf moose. I did get a cow without a calf and two different bull moose
