Just a friendly reminer
Not sure about all the NE states but at least in ME and NH it is deer hunting season. Please be VERY careful and wear bright colors when you go for your runs, walks, hikes and bike rides - especially on back roads and cross country. I was on a drive around noon Saturday (opening day in ME) and saw two women running on a back country road wearing dark clothes and one had a light colored sweatshirt or jacket tied around her waist so the back was flopping around... I almost stopped to remind them it was opening day but I figured they were ok since they were together and I know how much I hate to be stopped when I'm running!
Most hunters are great and responsible but it's still smart to be careful.
