Thursday, 18 January 2018, Winter Hike at Callahan State Park
Hike Leaders: Tony & Margie Lee
5.6 miles, 10:00 am start from Callahan SP parking lot, Framingham MA
Hikers: Tony, Margie, Elsa Lawrence, Gerry Sheetoo, Janet Miller, Judith McMichael, Marie Keutmann, Patrick Ward, and Richard Vignoni.
Sunny, blue skies welcomed us on the snowy trails at Callahan. Everyone had traction devices and, other than an occasional clod on the bottom, we moved along well. We enjoyed a couple of trails on the southside and then crossed over Edmands Road and headed up “Billy Goat Hill,” descended around the meadow, and wound our way to and around Beebe Pond. Climbing the hill past the large stone fireplace, we made our way over to “Six Pack Hill,” which everyone ascended without faltering (the legend is that anyone not making it must buy a 6-pack for the others). Between the near perfect winter weather, beauty of the woods, and great camaraderie, it was a wonderful hike.
Most of us headed over to British Beer Company for libations and good pub food, including irresistible truffle fries.
