Garters out in Mass.

ooooo I am jealoussss lol
where is this spot you speak of! prob not too close to me but just curious!

It's in North Andover, MA, in a place called Boxford State Forest. There is a quarry in the woods and they tossed all the rocks from it all over the place so it makes for nice hibernating spots as well as vernal pools. Ill try and take some pictures of it too if I go back out there this weekend.

During April and May especially, you can find garters, ribbons, black racers, eastern milks, northern waters, and the occasional ringneck snake. There are also many amphibians and a variety of turtles. The quality of my life has definately increased after finding this spot. In mid-summer, you won't find much there though.
