Ticks

I was talking with an older gentleman the other day. We were both rowing away at the gym. We got to talking about hiking. He said he likes to hike the trails above Laurel Lake, north of Erving. He also likes to hike the Quabbin Reservoir, gate 27. He said last time he hiked gate 27 he had eight ticks on his clothing.

Ticks cause lime disease. So always check yourself, head-to-toe, when you return from the great outdoors.

Looks like today is going to be another scorcher, so find a body of water and get out there!
