Signs of Spring
It's April and we're seeing signs of spring, both at home
the forsythia in front of our house
new sidewalk chalk
and on the trail.
Here are the details of our ride.

Something I noticed in Massachusetts (understand that there are no legal rural areas - every square inch of the state belongs to one town or another, kind of like counties in most states) is that a lake or other natural area is often restricted to residents of that town. You need a town permit, and only residents can get them. The rare exception is a place that receives funding from a higher government level.
But I don't think that is an answer. Woody Guthrie wrote a song about that, which makes it ironic that his son Arlo lives in Massachusetts.
The trails here are all on federal (BLM) land.
I think restrict natural areas to local residents only seems a little mean. I enjoy meeting people from other parts of the state/country out on the trails, and the visitors certainly give a boost to our local shops and restaurants!
It is just a shock to go, between one weekend and the next, from empty trails to populated ones.
