05 2026 06 Lessons for all three May-June trips

There is a feeling of satisfaction from all three trips.  A job well done.  Three trips, 6 nights and 9 travel days in 20 days between Sat, May 16 and Fri, Jun 5.  It was eventful, exactly what I wanted, and with a low impact on work hours.

All my all my worldly possessions at 5:50 am. Life is simple and elegant on the trail.	The next day 6/6/2026 at 6:06 AM. It is time upload all pictures from NIKON camera.

This particular Wednesday to Friday trip was a success. It included 19.7 mi loop of hiking and no biking. The start and the end of the trip were at the same place. The tip included remote forest roads, a nice dose of bushwalking, two perfect dry nights at new locations, rediscovery of old places and all-important connector to Mahoosuc Mile.
