8.7 miles; Marlborough, Framingham, and Sudbury, MA Well this section couldn’t have been more different from the last one. First, there was hardly any road-walking at all… maybe 1/4 mile. I didn’t even cross a paved road till well past halfway. Also, I managed to neither over- or under-estimate the mileage. It came in at […]

10.53 miles; Sudbury and Wayland, MA Just once, ONCE, I’d like to OVERestimate the mileage on one of these sections. Although the difference between 9.8 miles and 10.53 miles isn’t as drastic as last week, it was still an underestimation. And ugh. Out of a 10.53 mile hike, 8.5 miles of this was on roads, […]

12.84 miles; Concord, Lincoln, and Wayland, MA I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but in my defense, it was a) a VERY long hike, and 2) there was so much cool stuff! I began this section where I left off last week, at the Minuteman National Monument Visitor’s Center in Concord. […]

7.6 miles; Lowell, Chelmsford, and Westford, MA Again with the Rails-to-Trails! So this section was pretty boring. It was a 7-mile-long paved bike trail built on the bed of old New Haven Railroad Framingham & Lowell line. I saw my first BCT blaze since Andover, one of only 2 total. And the BCT breaks at […]

7.83 miles; Andover, Tewksbury, and Lowell, MA This was the best of hikes, it was the worst of hikes… Not actually, but the first half was quite nice, while the second half was both on a bogus trail and in the city of Lowell. So not wonderful. Still, I got it done. The BCT ends […]
