Are those silphids? I can't quiiiite see well enough to tell whether they're silphines or agyrtids, but regardless: NICE CARRION BEETLES, THUMBS UP.

The signs were placed in the Town Forest in the 1970s when some Eagle Scouts created a fitness trail, not long after the town got the land back from the state (it was taken by eminent domain in the 1950s for construction of route 128). The small text tells you what to do at each location. I think it says "arms" not "army" - something about jumping with arms outstretched or over. It drives me nuts that there is an apostrophe in Mine's.

That's my kind of walk. We actually have a park down here that served as a military training ground at one point in time and for some reason or another there actually were land mines found on the premises. As such, all visitors must sign a waiver before entering the preserve.
