"This short trail starts in the parking lot of the elementary school. There is an #OutdoorClassroom, #VernalPonds, and #swale. Small bridges have been built over wet areas. There are small signs with information about the natural environment. Although there are blue blazes on trees, the trail is not easy to follow as it gets further from the school."

Oh boy, #Naturehike's product lineup is confusing. Only the Cloud Up tent has the Cloud Up 20D, Cloud Up 210T, Cloud Up Base, Cloud Up Pro and Cloud Up UL. (All labelled as "ultralight" so that the Cloud Up UL is double ultralight:) Plus dozens of color variants.

There are inconsistencies, errors, omissions in dimensions and weight on their own website, and it's nearly impossible to know which version third party shops sell, because the names/variants never 100% match.

For the last year I used a pertex inner for my sleeping liner. Problem is that it is still from the 90s and are now developing holes, but at least it is lightweight at 176g and perfect for 3-season and shoulder-season hikes.

I have now replaced it with the lightest one (128g) I could find at a reasonable price (~€20). This is the Flame from Naturehike, although I have also see it called the Fireworks.

https://www.naturehike.com/products/flame-ultralight-sleeping-bag-liner.

It finds me (1.79m) well enough that I could sit in it outside of a tent and pull the hood over my head.

It folds up very small too. I won't use the stuff sack on hikes though. It will just get stuffed in with my quilt into a Sea to Summit compression bag.

According to my friend, Gumby, this is a House Finch. #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #finch #housefinch #purplefinch #songbird #songbirds #nature #naturehike #dogwood #dogwoodtree #floweringtree #floweringtrees #spring #springtime

I know most people don’t care for seagulls, but look at this beauty.

Yesterday Annie and I hiked around Middle Falls (Fowler Falls on the McCloud River) near the magnificent Mt Shasta. Beautiful area! #nature #naturehike #forestbath #waterfall #waterfallhike

A visit to #GoatHenge with the kids today (Mercy and Jonas).

It was hard to get good recordings of the neighborhood birds on my #NatureHike today -- so much #NoisePollution! But I waited until my neighbor was done running his lawn mower and found some spots that were relatively free from traffic sounds (it wasn't easy). But I was rewarded with a sound recording of a new visitor to #Maine -- the #CarolinaWren!
#MerlinApp #BirdListening

I only sighted 6 #Ladyslipper #Orchids in the usual spots. They've been dwindling down every year. I remember when the spot was full of them -- just a few years ago! I'm grateful the property owner is aware of them and does his best to protect them from plant poachers (which are a real thing). Ladyslippers don't transplant well, and they should just be left alone (and viewed form a distance -- I used a telephoto lens for this shot).

[Thread] This was my day today... A hike in a nearby forest and meadow, recording bird songs, and taking photos. Observations? Plenty for the bees to eat, but no bumblebees and barely any other bees. A couple of carpenter bees, a few small bees, but that was about all. I did capture some cool bird songs and used Merlin to identify them. So, mixed feelings about my hike. But it was still good to spend some time in nature -- even if my observations confirmed my misgivings about the local bee population.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

Loved this #NurseLog beside the #creek - nursing/feeding 2 young #trees that are growing out of it. Nurse logs are an important part of a #forest #ecosystem - #nature wastes nothing.
