Falls

 

"A trip to Buffam Falls includes a relatively flat and peaceful walk to three main sets of cascades and slides. No more than ten feet in height apiece, Buffam Falls is small, but still worth the visit, mainly because of the lowermost falls, a fanning slide about 7 feet in height. Buffam Brook takes its last major drop at this fanning slide before connecting with Amethyst Brook a few feet downstream." -- NewEnglandWaterfalls.com

Buffam Falls

Trailheads are not always easy to find in Massachusetts. I think it has something do to with how these so-called "conservation areas" are created through public-private initiatives. In any case, I had to stop and ask a very kind lady, who was out hiking herself, for directions.

Fourth

 

Had I stayed in Boston, I guess I could have attended this live. As it was, though, I watched it on television instead. I was lot drier and more comfortable than if I had been there in person, I'd say. How did you celebrate the Fourth? Or what is your country's equivalent?
