Swim #7: Goose Pond, Lee, MA

June 27, 2010 -- Summer is here and it's time to get into high gear on accomplishing these swims!  We have just delivered Leah to an AMC outpost in Great Barrington, where she will spend a week doing trail maintenance on the Appalachian Trail.  Feeling energetic, Harvey and I set out to hike the Jug End trail.  It starts as a lovely ramble through a meadow, filled with wildflowers and waving wheat, but soon turns into an almost-straight-uphill climb.  We did great, but by the time we arrived at our friends Judy & Charlie's vacation house in Lee for a swim, we were complete mush.  I did get into Goose Pond, and did my best to swim about halfway across and back.  It was a delightful spot and I'd love to go back!
