Boston Minutemen Campground, Littleton, Massachusetts
He whose walk is upright fears the LORD, but he whose ways are devious despises Him. ~ Proverbs 14:2
Today was spent with a bit more activity as we took to the trails around Littleton. It wasn’t a particularly exciting or interesting day, but it was good to get out in the fresh air and move around after our slothful day yesterday. Pretty sure slothfulness is a sin. But I think that only applies if it becomes a habit. . . . At least I hope so!
I suppose next they’ll tell me there’s no Tooth Fairy or leprachauns!
We found out tomorrow that the farmers in the area would pull them out of the ground where they wanted to grow stuff, but they didn’t want to haul them away, so they made walls out of them. : )
We arrived at the top and sat for a bit before heading back out on the trail.
Blaine looked inside, but I scampered off down the rocks aways because there was a spider on it and he inadvertently flung it in my direction. . . .
After a few hundred yards, Blaine realized that he’d never taken a picture of the view from the top. I made him turn around.
Remember back when we rode the commuter train the first day, and I showed you pictures they had on boards while we were waiting at the stop?
Well, that’s what the train depot looks like today. It’s a junk yard! Too bad.
After partaking of our packed lunch at a playground/running track, we took on another trail.
How long before those disappear? There were no other trail markers. . . .
Deep into the woods, but we could see it from the trail.
Queen Anne’s Lace if I’m not mistaken.
Back in the Jeep and we headed over to the local grocery store in search of something for dinner. They had a really nice selection of seafood, so we settled on a couple of things – swordfish steaks and one small lobster. Not sure if we’ve had swordfish before, but it was really good!
It was just right for us to be able to say we had lobster in New England. Where else can you get a whole steamed lobster for less than six bucks : )
We marinated it for about an hour or so in teriyaki sauce and some other stuff that I can’t remember.
And that’s it for today. Tune in tomorrow for another round of history as we head over to Minute Man National Park, where we’ll learn more about the British march to Concord and Paul Revere’s ride.
