4.78 miles ★★★★ usual suspects hike. this was very different from our usual hikes. more open and different kind of terrain. we went through three different properties, too: we started at the federal wildlife refuge headquarters at kettle pond, crossed into the audubon society’s kimball wildlife refuge, and then into burlingame state park, and back […]
