Will probably return to Whitehead X-ing tomorrow but perhaps not on the regular trail. Ran into a bit of dog poo (deer?) which I got on my shoes, and want to avoid that. Can come in from the Norris Brook direction, which I almost decided to do today. Re-read my April-May ring binder this weekend which has a lot of stuff on The Crossing. Bugs were a bit of a problem today — not sure how much I can “stay” there on my days off, although I didn’t head to Green Stream but only got as far as 4 Sticks. Didn’t work on the Contemplation Loop, but may tomorrow, if I return. Bug repellant may be in the offering soon.
Norris Brook has been rather neglected this spring. Also could hike on Wealthy Mtn., or head toward Herman’s Mansion and the Sharies’ land. Lots of options. I might accomplish the latter. Might return to Billfork in the TILE Creek area.

Prepare!

What do I need to do, Hucka?
Hucka D.:
Get to Devizes… drop your junk. Head back out. Come back around 7. Head out again. Get some sleep. Get up in the morning. Go back to Costa. Head toward Oliver’s Castle. The Oliver’s Castle. Understand the history. Go to Drew’s Pond. Understand the history. Take a look at the Crammer. Go look at the several churches and take in the graveyards. Look at the entrance to the tunnel underneath the castle. Is it a black hole? Yes! Take in the locks. Then drive to The Barge, Alton Priors. Hike to Woodborough Hill. Hike to Adam’s Grave. Go to West Woods, yes. Go of course to Avebury. Hike in all directions. But Alton Priors esp.; Adam’s Grave.
