Date of Hike: August 7, 2014
Trail Conditions: Dry
Equipment used: One hiking pole
Comments: We made a loop hike, starting at Gate 35, walking down to the Quabbin Reservoir, and then back tracking to the road that goes to Bassett Pond. On the way, we saw two interesting historical features: 1. An old crypt that was part of the former Golden Lake Cemetery and 2. Hackett's Chimney - A beautiful old chimney.
We looped back to our car via one of the old roads. We picked some blueberries, saw pitcher plants and sun dews and had another good day exploring at the Quabbin.
