Isolation Photo Project, Day 123: Laport Reserve

The heat and humidity have kept us indoors the last few weeks.

The heat and humidity have kept us indoors the last few weeks. But each day has been too much of the "same". Get up, have breakfast, go to work, have lunch, watch Netflix, do it all over again the next day.

I think Bhavna and I had reached the limit. I added three new hikes to our calendar, starting with tonight. We started with the Laport Reserve, a 1.29km trail in East Amwell Township, Hunterdon County. It's the smallest trail we have hiked.

This Sourland trail is a small nondescript loop around private property. The trailhead starts just off the long driveway to a private residence. The first half of the loop is lined with trees on the left and grass and low-lying shrubs on the left. On the second half of the trail loop, we were surrounded by trees.

Brewer's notes

Hazy IPA packed with a copious amount of Mosaic, Galaxy & Simcoe hops. This beer is bursting with a ripe juicy character you can smell from a mile away. Notes of fresh peaches, mango and papaya. This beer delivers with a smooth silky mouthfeel and a refreshing finish.
