Last night, Christmas Eve, was a bit rough for me as it was the anniversary of Violet’s rescue and all I could think about was how much I and everyone else was pulling for her even though the odds were so very much against her.

Today’s hiking trip was to little-known Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area in Northampton, Massachusetts. Not even the Massachusetts State Police who I asked for more precise directions had ever heard of it (even though the street leading to the park was across the street from the station). Thankfully, his coworker knew of it and printed out a trail map for me and my friend.
