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
