Gray day

Howie and I did a hike today near Williamstown (a small college town in Massachusetts). Deer hunting started this weekend in NY, but we were safe from Elmer Fuds as there is no hiking on Sunday in MA (some out-dated blue law).

We started out on the "Pine Cobble" trail that lead us to ... surprise! ... Pine Cobble - a rocky outcrop with a view of the village below and the surrounding hills. We continued on to Eph's lookout and the Appalachian trail (AT) which we took North to the Vermont border. Turned around and took the "Class of 98" trail back to the Pine Cobble trail and then returned to the parking area.

We saw quite a few hikers and two back-packers out on this gray, overcast day.

Round-trip Distance: 6.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1700 ft

I'm guessing you meant no hunting on Sundays. :)
