Leaf peeping hike and Geocaching

Au Bon Pain (map)

Selected By: Jorge

This weekend will be near peak Fall foliage in Massachusetts, why don't we go out for a hike at Willard Brook State Park, have a picnic, look at the leaves turning colors, take some pictures and try to find one of the Geocaches hidden in the park?

What to bring?:

Comfortable shoes, no sandals or open shoes.
Comfortable clothes, dressing in layers so you can shed some if it gets hot or cover up if it gets cold.
Your camera, there will be plenty of picture opportunities while we walk around the park.
A hand held GPS or GPS capable phone.
Some lunch and plenty of water.
A small trinket to exchange in the cache (optional)
Last but not least, your spirit of adventure.

There are about 18 caches hidden in and around the park, we can look for one of them and enjoy nature while we are at it.

Let's meet at Au Bon Pain in Somerville and we'll car pool. When you RSVP, please state if you will bring a GPS and if you have a car or want to car pool.

    It was a nice hike, weather was nice, perhaps a little chilly by the end of the day. We did not find any of the hidden caches in the park, but we had a good time.

    A fun hike catching the fall forest foliage. Thanks to millions of dollars of orbiting GPS satellites, we never got lost!
