Kayaked Long Pond in Belgrade on Saturday (the name is appropriate...) and hiked Tumbledown on Sunday. I'd say I'm a fairly novice hiker- only trail I did roughly in ballpark was Bradbury in Freeport, and years ago Stowe in Vermont. 4ks seem intimidating to me, but my friends reassured me, if I could do Little Jackson, I could do 4ks. Well, I'm still feeling it. My legs are jello. But the view at the top was definitely worth it. Pictures don't do it justice. Tons of blueberries at the top- more than the eye could behold. And a passerby told us with windchill, the temp was 25 at the top. Not sure if I believe it, but it was damn cold! Overall a very fun weekend.

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
