The hike... 42°F. Clear Skies under High Pressure. 5.50 Mile Hike. Total time 2hrs 20 minutes. Burned 650 Calories.

Under Mountain Trail. Salisbury, CT





Won't bore you with the usual "woods scene" on a hike.. Here's first lookout point... Facing West over NY.




Getting up near the top the trees thinned out and the views were great in spots. Facing West still. Trail became all rock.




I saw these colorful flowers. Not sure what they are.




Those pink flowers closeup

Spoiler




At the top a pile of rocks to climb and sit on. Few people up there.




Closeup of that monument sign there next




From the top. Across is Mt Frissel which is in Massachusetts. CT's highest point is also on that mountain but the highest peak is here. So we're looking towards CT/MA border and MA in background

Winds were ripping. We were half way to 850mb level. LOL which was below freezing few hours ago. Temps were around 40° by time we got there and wind chills in the mid 30s




Another look from the top facing E towards Twin Lakes and Washinee Lake over Litchfield County, CT on the right, MA on the left.



Cool looking Bonsai trees at the top





What some of the trail looked like in the woods.

The good old days of the "Old Mill".

May 29, 2015

Westport, CT on Boston Post Road

"Old Sasco Mill, the building formerly known as Buckley’s Mill, dates back to 1840. New England Mills were often built on top of previous mills so the site may be older than historical records indicate.

The unique renovated mill has stunning views of the swan-inhabited Sasco Mill Pond and a high visibility location on the Southport/Westport border. The mill is positioned within what once was a multi-use industrial complex consisting of a mill, a sluice that powered the saw mill, a barn for storing lumber and grain and an ice house used to preserve blocks of ice cut from the pond in the dead of winter.

In 1945 “Famous Artist Schools” was launched by illustrator Albert Dorne and Norman Rockwell was among the FAS artists whose offices were first located in the Sasco Mill building on 1869 Post Road East"






A little pruning would make for a better shot with the Mill in the back. You can see the blue skies with Cumulus clouds with the water reflections
