Welcome to Susan's Bay Circuit Diary! This blog follows my adventures with my dog Sulu hiking the Bay Circuit Trail. Feel free to subscribe (see the little "subscribe" oval above). The rest of the past posts can be found using the little menu on the left. If you are curious how this all started, go here.
More Wayland walking, virtually 100% on roads. It was pretty hot for Sulu, our hottest hike of the year. I was kitted out like Bwana Susan in lightweight hiking pants, lightweight shirt, my new many-pocketed gardening vest from Duluth Trading, and of course the ever-sexy pants tucked into hiking socks look. On the bright side, all this street walking is giving us a lot of practice with loose lead walking! It was the birdiest day yet, with sightings including brown-headed cowbird, Eastern kingbird, and a female red-winged blackbird. I also had a really good muskrat sighting in the Sudbury River, less than six feet away. I had to get his attention so I could put Sulu in the water to cool off. I parked at
Cow Common and took the recommended route (mostly side streets and not main streets) through the historic center of Wayland and to
Heard Farm, a conservation area I've heard of but not visited. Our next outing we will park there and head onwards.
