HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 20 March 2024, Farrar Pond spring hike
Hike Leader: Marie Keutmann, 617 312 4739, marie.keutmann@gmail.com
~4 miles, 10:00 am start from Lincoln, MA
Hikers (15): Marie, Annemarie Altman, Barbara Jacobs, Betty Salzberg, George Stromberg, Jack Mroczkowski, Kristina Leclaire, Lynell Stromberg, , Marlene Heroux, Melissa Norton, Mike Hanauer, Peggy Gelin, Phyllis Evan, Susan Sabin, and Ted Nyder.
Marie led fourteen hikers along scenic Farrar Pond. We took two detours: one to look at numerous kettle holes, and another to look at a waterfall in a stream that empties into the pond. Kettle holes are formed by blocks of dead ice left behind by retreating glaciers. The ice becomes buried in sediment and, when it melts, it leaves a depression called a kettle hole.
Approximately ten hikers had lunch in the greenhouse at Verrill Farm, a few miles away in Concord.
