INTO THE WOODS. You may recall that, upon the conclusion of the polo season, I hit the trails of Bethpage State Park. They're quite interesting.

In one pocket of the woods, I noticed a many birds chirping and rustling among the bushes. Then I noticed the berry plants.



Nearby, I spotted a furry vine snaking on a tree trunk.



















Not far from that, I saw a crater...



















...and some sort of combined shelter and bike ramp...



















...and what must be the work of The Mysterious People of the Woods.
