May thru October is prime Timber Rattlesnake season in the Meshomasic State Forest so we decided to visit in March for a little hiking & letterboxing over in the Portland/Glastonbury section. A bit windy & chilly but still a good day to be outside and no 'Crotalus horridus' encounters!

Located right down the road is the old Portland Nike Site, (Surface to Air Missile Battery intended to shoot down enemy bombers during the Cold War), where we went next to do some exploring. This was one of the maintenance access shafts that has been filled in although it looks like someone has been busy trying to dig it back out.
