Wednesday, 19 January 2022, Winter Hike from Nobscot Scout Reservation
Hike Leaders: Tony & Margie Lee
6.3 miles (~3.5 hr), 10:00 am start from Sudbury, MA
Hikers (13): Tony, Margie, Alan Cantor, Betsy Harper, Butch Pemstein, David Wean, Everett Briggs, Jack Mroczkowski, Julie Dodd, Marie Keutmann, Patty Grasso, Richard Vignoni, and Tod Cochran.
Thirteen of us met at the Nobscot parking lot where many of us donned microspikes and grabbed hiking poles. We experienced clear winter weather, hampered only by icy trails. We followed Thirty Rod Trail to Tipling Rock Trail, and scrambled up Tipling Rock, taking in views of Boston, the Blue Hills (including ski runs for those with super vision), and the Needham towers.
We forged on to Ford’s Folly, carefully negotiating our way on the icy trail. Our return to the parking lot was revised to avoid steep, icy downhills.
People were happy to escape winter cabin fever and Covid social isolation, appreciating the woods and conversing over a wide range of topics. I think we even identified a ubiquitous plant - club moss.
