    Monument Mountain, Great Barrington Mass

    I spent a nice afternoon on a day hike up Monument Mountain outside of Great Barrington Mass.

    The hike was enjoyable, the weather was pleasant, and the dogs were good company.

    I set up my hammock just a little off of the trail near the summit for some relaxation. I enjoyed lunch from the hammock, a good book, and a great view. I did get plenty if funny looks as I relaxed as people went by. I can only assume they thought that I was camping up there.

    Me relaxing in my hammock…


    Lunch from the hammock Shug style!


    A picture of the view, and I was playing with a new app...


    And my companions, Hunter and Nelson...

    Nah, nothing special. Just some homemade BBQ Spaghetti inspired by BF5.

    Sorry, spur of the moment hike. Wife took my daughter to a Halloween event, so I ended up with some time for myself. I almost posted it, but I figured an hour heads-up was too short for most people.

    Haven't been up there in quite a while now.......so, it looks like I'll have to get back there real soon after seeing the pics. A beauty place, for sure!

    ===> Great stuff, raiff! Nice app, too. You should go take a look at another app..."Theodolite". Takes pics, too!

    Thanks everyone. It is a very nice location, but it can be heavily trafficked especially on the weekends. I can't wait for winter to set in so I can have the place to myself.
