Day 5.256: Some translation required

The equinox arrived and brought with it the end of summer just after 10:40 this morning.  At that time we were driving into Massachusetts to visit another of the reservations cared for by The Trustees of Reservations (still a terrible name). It was a really great place and we had an excellent hike.  The first of fall/autumn (pretty much to the minute!)

I'll tell you about it tomorrow (or the next day) I promise. For now, here is the sign that greeted us when we arrived. I was amazed how much of it I needed to translate for the kids (especially the one who needed to hear it the most):


Here is my E5N1-friendly glossary:

hazardous = dangerous
exercise caution = take care
exercise sound judgment = make good choices
fun = FUN!

In fact, he did manage to injure himself, but not in a life-threatening way and scare his parents, but not in a injury-causing way, so 'safe' may be a bit of stretch, but we did all have FUN!

(sorry for all the parentheses in this post)
