Hello friends and Hivians. I hope all is well. Today I take you on a walk I did in the morning last Monday while on vacation. It was a walk of 3 miles in total. I was accompanied by one of my sisters.
This walk took place about 50 miles outside of Boston alongside the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Border. This beauitful walk included being in both States. While In the country side there was so no signs welcoming you to either state nor did my phone prompt me of it. The walk included a nice green mixture of trees and wooded areas.
I learned that most of the countryside in the North East area of the United States was clear cutted of trees many years ago when the first immigrants came to America. So you won't find any trees hundreds of years old like there is in California and elsewhere. Fornately efforts were made over the years to replace them. Greenery is important part of the ecosystem as it provides so many things and benefits.
Im use to seeing wood picket fences where I'm from. I can't recall seeing any of those on my visit here. Almost every property has rock walls surrounding thier property. Different for me to see but pretty cool. Also the rock walls weather the environment for a much longer time.
We seen a few houses on are walk. Some were more modern and a few a bit older. A little bit of both but almost all of them had a good chunk of land. I loved the old weathered barn it reminds me of the barn that was on my childhood property growing up. The one house appears to be an old modified barn into one. I've seen a few houses like this before and I think its pretty damn resourceful.
I knew I was in Rhode Island by running accross a historical soceity marker of a cemetery. I seen three separate grave sites on this walk. These were located right next to properties. There were a few markers that dated back to late 17 something but most were from the 1800s. There wasn't any information on them other than what is normally on a tombstone. These were simple tombstones which makes me believe these were family plots of people who lived on the properties in the past.
I did this walk three times in the morning while I stayed at my brothers place. The other times I was all about the walk. I did get pestered from my sister on this one as I did take some pictures slowing her down. She likes to time herself on her walks which there is nothing wrong with that. We did the three miles in 64 minutes, she likes to aim for at least a 20 minute mile pace, we were close, she let me kindly know about it.
Afterwards a good breakfast and a day full of family fun activities which I shared about a few days ago. This post serves as my #wednesdaywalk hosted by 
A short good feeling walk which was very timely because I ate quite a bit more than I usually do this day 😆 Take care, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the week. Until next time!
