HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 3 January 2024, Great Brook Farm State Park winter hike
Hike Leader: Julie Dodd
4 miles, 10:00 am start from Carlisle, MA
Hikers (30): Julie, Ann Northup, Annemarie Altman, Barbara Jacobs, Betty Salzberg, David Goldberg, Don Mannes, Ed Hill, George Stromberg, Gerry Sheetoo, Jamie King, Janet Miller, Jim Whinfield, Joanne Samuels, Judy Perrin, Kristina Leclaire, Lindy King, Lynell Stromberg, Lynne O'Riorden, Marie Keutmann, Maureen Febiger, Melissa Norton, Patrick Ward, Phyllis Evan, Susan Broome, Susan Sabin, Ted Nyder, William Feiring, Zach Woods, and first-timer Bob Mitchell. [Bob was a CRW Guest; I hope he becomes a member.]
We started by taking Cow Path trail to the hilly Turkey Run trail. After regrouping, we headed off to the seriously twisty Stone Row trail. We then walked through the weird, glacial depositional landscape known as eskers. The long line of thirty hikers made quite a sight on the winding trail along the sides of the ravine.
Pausing to admire a vista of the River Meadow Brook, we then continued on flatter terrain. Other trails of note included Tophet West, Heartbreak Ridge, and Maple Ridge.
Thirteen of us met for post-hike lunch at Fern's Country Store.
