Jug Head

I did a hike with Howie in southern Massachusetts. We climbed Mount Everett. Parked on Jug End road and started out on the Appalachian Trail (AT). It was a strenuous climb on up. Reached the view point at Jug End and took a break. Continued along the ridge which had lots of little ups and downs (much like life). Went over Mount Bushnell and then finally reached the summit of Mount Everett. On the return, I took a side trip on a trail that went around Gilder Pond. I soaked my feet in the water and Howie made friends with another dog. Made it back to the car five hours after we had started. A nice cool, partly sunny day for our trek in the woods.

Summit Elevation: Everett 2602 ft
