Description: Properties:
The world would end in 1844. Or so the Millerites believed, and thus deeded their property to God, carving into a stone below their temple in the woods.
This Ramble is intended to introduce hikers to the trails along Tetasset Ridge, particularly the north-south spurs of Worcester's East-West Trail. We'll start at Logan Field, and hike a spur to the East West trail, follow the trail along Tetasset Ridge, take another spur to Deed Rock, then return along the same route. For the Ramble, there will be both planned and unplanned stops, where we will discuss the features of the property, as we hike and explore as a group.
Coordination:
Registration will close on the 13th! There is street parking at the listed address. We will meet at the trailhead. We will do a trail talk at 9:45 and leave promptly at 10 am! Please be on time!
Notable items to prepare for: - Some trails we will travel are not heavily used and preparation for ticks and a thorough tick check post hike is highly recommended - Dogs - the nearby neighbors often walk their dogs on trail, both on and off leash. Only service animals in our group, NO OTHER PETS.

Equipment:
Be prepared with your water, any snacks, sunscreen, insect repellent and any emergency meds. Have good shoes/boots able to handle rocky trails.
