HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 21 January 2026, Lincoln & Concord - "Remembering Thoreau" winter hike
Hike Leaders: Margie Lee & Tony Lee
~4 miles, 10:00 am start from Lincoln, MA.
Hikers (12): Margie, Tony, Betsy Harper, Betty Salzburg, Greg Stathis, Jack Mroczkowski, Janet Miller, Marie Keutmann, Phyllis Evans, Renee Rees, Richard Vignoni, and Susan Sabin.
In anticipation of "Henry David Thoreau," Ken Burns' upcoming three-hour documentary, we hiked (sauntered if you were to ask Thoreau) to the Walden Pond visitors center. The park ranger on duty, Kyle, shared a lot of interesting information about Thoreau and the Transcendentalists and accompanied us to the replica of Henry David Thoreau's cabin, where he lived for two years, two months, and two days, overlooking Walden Pond and writing what was to be "Walden."
We crossed Route 126 and stopped at the site of the cabin, continued part way around Walden Pond, crossed the railroad tracks, and returned to The Food Project via Adams Woods trails. The day was cold, but sunny, and we moved along well, except for a somewhat extended visit to the replica of the cabin.
There was a lot of food for thought and our conversations continued over lunch at Verrill Farm.
Report by Margie Lee.
