Today we went on a five mile hike on the North Country Trail. It was pretty hilly!

We started the day by having a little breakfast in the bare-bones trailer.

Some wildflowers starting to open. Should be more tomorrow. The Dutchman's breeches are looking good.

We found some big false morels (not sure exactly what species)
