Proud of my Southcoast farming and whaling heritage, thankfully they were on the winning side of the King Philips and Revolutionary wars.

Took a hike up to an over-look of my little town yesterday.  Beauty of a day for a it.  Can just barely make out Mt Monadnock in the center of the last photo, @ 50 miles away.  Man, my phone takes crappy photos.

Now that is a worthy hike.

Those old timers sure weren't afraid of hard work.  This is in an area that began to see settlers pre-1750, on the old road from Worcester (about 20 miles east).  Nice rich bottomland to this day.

My son and I took a relatively short hike yesterday to a cool little cave system, coming across an old sugar-house on the return loop.

Hiked along the shores of the mighty Quabbin yesterday.  A beautiful day for it.

Yesterday's uneventful hikes to a few local quarries, only one worth taking photos.  Nothing like the Maine quarries we used to cliff jump to swim in my younger years.

This was the start on an epic morning of fishing.

Looks like an epic day, weather-wise.  What was biting?

niverker,
 

Son-in-law caught the first Tarpon and the only Barracuda of the day. 
we also caught a Horse Eyed Jack, a Trigger Fish and some Tuna.

Ended the day with my Daughter landing an 80lb tarpon. 
 

These are by far the largest fish they have caught in their lives. 
 

The memory will live on.

This is the view we woke up to every morning. 
 

It didn’t suck.
