We've had a wonderful few days here in Simsbury, staying at our friend Nicki's house. The bike riding has been splendid with no ill effects on my wrist. The hiking as also been very nice. We just got back from White Memorial Conservation area in Litchfield. It was lush and quiet, except for the droning of the many mosquitoes. It was well worth the drive out there to be able to take such a nice hike.

Nice lean-to accommodations for campers.

Old ice house structures in the woods.

Bantam Lake

This afternoon we're going to hike up Talcott Mountain for a wonderful view of the Farmingotn Valley.
