Tri-Town Hike 2017

12.94 miles; Medfield, Dover, and Westwood, MA This was the big annual hike sponsored by the Trustees of the Reservations in Massachusetts, which goes through Medfield, Dover, and Westwood. Beautiful day and beautiful hike, and I met some very nice folks. And this time I took almost NO shortcuts! The hike began at the Sen […]

Bay Circuit Trail Section 24

10.17 miles; Hanson & Pembroke, MA This was the penultimate section of my BCT hiking, which makes me very sad. This has been a fantastic adventure, and I don’t know what I’m going to do next, although there’s always the “Connecticut 400,” which is actually 825 miles of blue-blazed hiking trail. Hm. Something to think […]

10.18 miles; Sharon, MA So I was able to pick this hike up where I left off earlier this week, and got to see a large section of the Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, including a section of the Warner Trail. Great section, and I met a new hiking friend along the way (no, not the […]

That’s very different. See, there were 2 parking areas on Noon Hill Road in Medfield. For the hike to […]

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. […]
