Today is a good day.
It's partly cloudy out right now... the sun peaking in and out every now and then. This morning i did in fact go hiking at arcadia... something that i had been meaning to do for the last week and a half. The lake that i went to was the beach pond swimming area. It was closed for swimming... likely due to high bacteria counts. I bought two bottles of water before i left. I ended up leaving them in the car. The trail system i went on was the "blue" trail. I gotta say... it was fun. I only was there for about an hour. I had streamed music through my phone on the hike. One thing i gotta say... early morning in the forest is like walking through a familiar place in a foreign world. I had gone on the trail a number of years a good with two of my best friends... and after maybe ten minutes, i started to recognize the twists and turns of the path. It basically wraps around a big lake at the location and then.... (me and nightwing are playing that game again ((nightwing is what we named the Robin back in the early spring) .... springs out into the deep woods. Like is said, i only walked about a mile and a half into the trail. I was streaming music and just about when i cleared the lake the stream died because i had no cell signal. So, i put on some of the music from my phone and headed back to the car. At one people i saw a guy on a boat chugging along in the lake... An interesting thing is the fact that on the CT side of lake there were houses built up... but on the ri side of the lake it was a state park. Any who... like i said... once the stream stopped i turned around because i was out of cell range and figured it best if i was with other people to go further rather than going it alone. It's interesting in a way because it's a random fear... i don't know why i was afraid to go further... as if a disconnection for humanity's reach would lead me a stray in a some way. I know... that much further down the trail, probably at the 5 mile mark... there is a very very cool cliff where the earth had shifted at one point and dropped down the area leading up to it by 50-75 feet.. leaving just a cliff and a small trail nearly in the middle of it leading to the top. Before the weekend is over... i will... have climbed to the top of the cliff. Hopefully.. with other people. It's interesting... because when i had gone with my two best friends... we had made it all the way to the cliff.... but fear kept me back from going up the trail to the top... i think it may have been "fear of seeing whats out there" if that makes any sense... A lot has changed since then... i'm not sure where i was living at the time... i was either on my own in cranston or i was in providence.... but... i remember i went over my friends house... he suggested it and i drove.
