Groton Town Forest Winter Hike - February 13 , 2019

HIKE REPORT

Wednesday, 13 February 2019, Groton Town Forest winter hike
Hike Leader:  Janet Miller
~4 miles, 10:00 am start from the end of Town Forest Road, Groton, MA

Hikers (3):  Janet, David Fay, and Jack Mroczkowski

Two hikers, Jack and David, joined me for a beautiful hike in Groton Town Forest.  We admired the glittering foliage of evergreen trees with their droplets of ice, a light but brief snowfall as we overlooked Ames Pond, and sunshine most of the time.  Hiking was hard work as we walked in two to three inches of heavy, wet snow on both flat and hilly terrain, so we cut short our hike and did not visit the Dead River as planned.  Nevertheless, we still hiked almost four miles

We all agreed that we were really glad to have been out enjoying the outdoors, and, later, Jack sent me a link to this article on the benefits of being outdoors:
