It is mid March but feels like late April. Temps in the 50's and a sunny weekend spent in Lincoln VT. Sat was a trip to Whiting, South 45 minutes from Lincoln, to pick up some hay. After loading the hay, conversation with the farmers turned to a variety of topics including how much lime to put on a field, spreader implements, and fishing. Interesting to see people take the time to chat after getting the work done. We noticed that the pond we skated on the previous weekend was open water.
After unloading the hay we went to see the Starline Rhythm Boys in downtown Lincoln. They were playing at the town hall. Close by and easy to get to. A lot of good local dancers and a fun band. They know how to put on a performance. Particularly the stand up base player. At some points he had the base down on the stage and was playing it like a guitar. Someone came out of the audience to play a piano that was next to the stage for one of the songs. He fit right in!
The next day I walked down S Lincoln road for maybe 2 miles to forest road 201. After going down forest rd 201 there is a parking lot for the Cooley Glen and Emily Proctor trails. I went on the Cooley Glen trail which follows the New Haven river for a while. I turned around before the trail headed up onto the ridge and the long trail. The Emily Proctor trail also goes to the long trail further South. Both trails are about 3.5 miles long. I also noticed that the Catamount Trail crosses S Lincoln road about a 1/2 mile before FR201. Nice day and comfortable walking temperatures.
Other time was spent checking out the New Haven river closer to Lincoln center. Some nice waterfalls and places that look like good swimming holes in the summer.
