Another weekend in quarantine, another walk through a new town forest. This time we headed to Ashland Town Forest. Though it didn’t look like much on Google Maps, we were pleasantly surprised at the size of it and the number of trails it boasted. In addition to some beautiful (and beautifully maintaned) trails, it also had a few surprises like a pair of old cars rusting away on the side of the trail. It was pretty interesting to see how the wildlife was slowly taking over the metal. It almost felt like they were melting into the landscape.

We also saw multiple painted rocks, messages of hope, and even a plastic dinosaur decorating the side of the trail. It was clear this place is well loved by those who come here often.
