About Hobbit: Hobbit is a tech geek and enthusiastic explorer of Boston-area parks, primarily North Shore but with occasional jaunts farther afield including the Whites. He is a member of Trustees, Mass Audubon, and several local Friends groups. His "home group" is the Friends of Harold Parker, and he can often be found leading their weekly Wednesday morning outings (plug!). His greatest enjoyment comes from the ever-changing "symphony of textures" underfoot across the four seasons, as well as contributing data to Open Streetmap and generally helping endorse and care for our precious outdoor resources.
Useful info about the Fells and this leader can be viewed here, along with a running log of past outings.
About the Walk: Wouldn't being outside enjoying our open spaces be far better than getting crushed by materialistic mobs at the big-box stores? This will be a pleasant low-stress ramble around some of the Fells' finest water-side trails and surprising view points. About 5 miles worth of mostly gentle terrain.
We'll start at the Flynn Rink parking and see some interesting features along Spot Pond, and then cross the "highway divide" for a romp among the western reservoirs. If there's a big rink event that day there is additional parking fairly nearby, and with a meeting time of noon we can take some time to group up and get organized and still have plenty of daylight time to hike.
