Web site of the week

http://www.state.ma.us/dem/listing.htm

It's Labor Day weekend. Do something different: get off your rump and go outdoors. The state Department of Environmental Management (DEM) makes it all the more easy to get a life with its comprehensive listing of state forests and parks. Weekend activities, photos, and directions to the state's green spaces are catalogued in this easy-to-use site that details each state-owned property. Want to go to the beach? DEM points you to many. Camping? It's all included. Do yourself a favor: hit the trail this weekend because the first frost is just weeks away. And then who'll complain?
