Saco Heath Preserve – Saco, ME
I managed a two hour walk at a not very large preserve. At no point would I have been able to consider that walk to have any redeeming aerobic qualities. I did however, work in squats like a champ. That was a quick 851 pictures. 2025 Note: This was the best year for mushrooms in

Elemental Thief – Rachel Morgan
