Throwback Adventure – Otter River State Forest – July 2013

I will have sections of my blog that I will title “Throwback Adventure”, and will plan on posting them every Thursday. These are journeys we have taken before I started the blog, but are well worth sharing. Many of these Throwback Adventures will include our Buster, who was known for his crazy tail, his happy howl, and his zest for life. We miss him dearly…he is forever in our hearts!

In July of 2013 Shadow, Buster, and I Adventured to Otter River State Forest.  Otter River State Forest is in Baldwinville, Massachusetts.  It is just over 1,000 acres in size  and is popular for camping, mountain biking, hiking, and swimming.  The Forest is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.

We had a hot summer day Adventure to Otter River State Forest.  I remember enjoying a long hike, yet also finding the trail quite confusing.  However, we did not get lost, and were pleased to find a resting area above the Pond with lovely views.  Near the end of our walk we located a brook, which as you can see below, making Shadow quite happy.  One thing I remember clearly about this Adventure was dropping my cell phone in the brook, creating many foggy photographs. Apparently my phone survived as I was able to track down these photographs to summarize this Adventure.  Another Adventure we enjoyed at one of our Department of Conservation and Recreation Parks
