 HIKE REPORT


Wednesday, 25 January 2022, Lincoln - Hike from Twin Pond to Pigeon Hill Folly Ruin and Back

Hike Leaders:  Zach Woods & Judy Perrin

5.5 miles, 10:00 am start from Lincoln, MA

It was a beautiful day for a winter hike - no wind and thirty-four degrees.  The group enjoyed seeing several historical sites (Garfield cellar hole, Pigeon Hill Folly ruin, and a former site of a colonial-era rope walk, where hemp fibers were worked into lengths of rope.  We hiked up a hogback ridge that was formed by a glacier and observed a beaver lodge.  We also learned about several of the Modernist houses viewable from the trail.


Six hikers enjoyed lunch at Revolution Craft Food Hall in Lexington.


The group photos were taken at the Pigeon Hill Folly ruin.
