Beseck Ridge section

I did a four-hour hike today, about eight miles. This is the same trail that I did on August 7, 2005, only I didn't complete the entire section.

It was a cloudy day, and a smattering of rain came down on my way to the trail, but otherwise the rain held off. It turned out to be a good day for a hike, finally - a nice cool breeze was blowing most of the time.

This section of the Mattabesett must just be unusually buggy. Similar to last August, I was plagued by deer flies, picked up a few ticks (lots of tall grass), and blundered through several micrathena webs (which is more or less a room 101 experience).
