Li’l ol’ Lyme,
Too oft malign’d
Hiking it should be a breeze
‘s’long as I don’t get riddled wi’ disease

Turns out that deer ticks have tons of open space in which to hang out before infecting hikers with Lyme Disease. Between the town of Lyme, the state, The Nature Conservancy, and the Lyme Land Conservation Trust, there are many miles of trails to explore in the near-coastal town.

I’d like to thank the LLCT for doing a very good job of spiking out who owns which parcels of trailed land in town; although there are many that are shared and/or crossover, etc. These are the times I wish I didn’t make the decision to separate out the aforementioned land-owning properties a decade ago. But I did. And here we are.

In Lyme.
Hoping for a good hiking time.
Rolling over hills with ease,
Begone, dread disease!
