Part of my plan to get more exercise,

As part of my plan to get more exercise, I try to do more walking, but walking cement sidewalks as trucks and cars drive by is NOT enjoyable!! So in good weather Hubby helps by taking me to a place I LOVE to walk, around a nearby small 'recreation' area, called Houghton's Pond. In hot weather I like to swim at the sandy beach there, but it is too

Houghtons pond is a lovely spot.

Yes! On the other side of the highway(128) is a smaller pond which, as I understand it, used to be connected to Houghton's pond before the highway was built.We like to rent one of the cabins there in the fall and 'rough it'. There are no 'frills! Beds and matresses are there, you bring your own sheets, pillows and blankets. We bring a 'pee bucket', because we do NOT want to try and go up the dirt path in the dark to the 'outhouse'! One of the first chores of the morning is carrying said bucket to the outhouse and emptying it! These buckets are sold at hardware stores where they carry buckets for guys who make a living driving trucks- esp. long distance trucks. That way, they don't have to ask a home owner to use the bathroom and they don't have to relieve themselves on somebody's lawn!!! The bucket has a lid which lifts up on one side and reveals a 'seat'. This can be used for sitting or lifted up when a seat is not required.
