I had never heard the term leaf peeper before till we moved here. I don't think we took full advantage of all the leaf peeping available to us out here in north county. We corrected that this year!
Our plans to camp this weekend changed as Savvy's team did great in a soccer tournament. They won 2 games on saturday, lost in semi finals on sunday. The backdrop of gorgeous falling leaves made the loss bearable...or the team donuts?
We had a bonfire and watched the full moon rise over the trees in our backyard. And listened to the spooked podcast. Then some nature like sounds had Savvy running into the house. The podcast was quite good! 😂
We got up super early, made banana bread, then drove and hiked through Pittsfield State Forest. Another great spot only 30 minutes away! It's definitely going on our campinh list for summer 2023.
There are quite a few walking trails even closer to our house we often drive by but never visit. That changed! We got lost and happened upon a few fun ones we hope to return to. Hopper Trail had cows. We only did a small portion of it. We'll go back another day to do the waterfall and summit.
There is a huge estate that town gossip says was purchased by Williams College. We have been told people can just walk around, enjoying the land. We put the theory to the test! Lots of waves and smiles from strangers we encountered, including people driving in college vans sooooo, I guess we'll be back! A charming fairy village surprised us on the walk.
