2012 Adventure VIII
Date of Adventure: Thurs. 26 April 2012
Type of Adventure: Hike
Place of Adventure: Shrewsbury
Length of Adventure, miles: Approx 2
Length of Adventure, hours: 1.5
Weather: Rainy
Companions: Colyn (and a porcupine)
Other Adventurers Encountered: Just the Porcupine
Notes of Interest: 1. I tried to summit Burnt Hill again. The trail has been moved and now goes through a logging area. The blazes are mostly missing through the logging area, which was very frustrating. 2. Porcupines and Dogs do not make good hiking buddies. 3. Vet bills to remove Porcupine Quills from a Dog's face are expensive. 4. Colyn is a trooper and was still trying to cause trouble even with a face full of Quills.
Warning: Potentially Disturbing Pictures below.

Well, that doesn't look so bad, really.
What? These Quills? No, they're not bothering me at all.
