A Walk in the Park

Yesterday we went to Moose Brook State Park for a hike. On line it said admission was $5 a person for out of state residents, but when we got there the Park Manager said he was running the park on revenue from retail sales and wanted the park available for the people, so there was no charge unless you were camping.

We walked a two and a half mile loop along Perkins Brook. Some of it was on pretty narrow paths.

But they were easy to follow and had bridges where you really needed them.

In some places we followed an old CCC trail. Here you could see the work that had been done (probably by hand) to create a level road bed.

We walked up the south side of Perkins Brook then crossed this well made bridge…

over the very pretty brook and returned along the north side.

I enjoyed the stoney, bony old woods.

And for what we would have paid for admission I bought this nice t-shirt.
