The Cobbles

Did a hike on the Appalachian Trail in the Berkshires with Howie  today. Parked at the end of Furnace Hill road in Cheshire, MA and jumped onto the AT. It was brisk out, but I was quickly feeling warm after a bit of climbing up the trail. The bright sunshine also helped. We soon reached The Cobbles which had nice views to the north,west and south from its cliffs. Continued on the AT all the way to Gore pond. Stopped for a lunch break and then headed back. Did a short bushwhack to a slide that was about 1/3 mile off the trail (and SE of The Cobbles). Looked like a local hangout spot - complete with a stone grill. Had a nice clear, sunny day for our trek. Only saw two other hikers all day.
