The day dawned bright and beautiful, and since I’d stayed up late enjoying all that hiker companionship, I got started quite late. I slept well, but I had a lazy morning. In this short 4.3 miles I was really grateful for my map. There were many junctions with woods roads and trails and the [...] The walk out of Williamstown was long and long.
