I know that on Sunday I'm hiking. I haven't decided which trail yet. If anyone wants to come, they're more than welcome. I promise to go your speed. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

So maybe the picnic on sunday will be Jamie's hike. I like that idea. There is a large park slightly north of town (15-min drive) where there are all sorts of trails, we can agree on one that works for everyone.
For hiking, I was thinking more along the lines of Mt Monadnock (1:36 from Boston). Get some views
Or Blue Job Mtn (1:21), Mt Uncanoonuck (60 minutes, added benefit of being 10-15 min from my apt), Crotched Mtn (1:32)), Mt Watatic (1:27).
If we drive an hour or hour and a half, we get some mountains. If we're hiking in MA on the eastern seaboard, it's all flat. And flat hiking is terribly boring. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

If you want a compromise, the Holyoke range is great. Steep hills for MAck, drive-to mountain tops for me, and other pathetically out-of-shape ones. We could set up a picnic, and hike around the summit, then let the Mack Pack hike as far and fast as they want.
Great views. Great food.

I just hiked Mt Monadnock yesterday! It was suprisingly fun (the last time I hiked it was in the pouring rain in 4th grade).

Hmm. Mountains are okay with me, as long as it's not a really long hike (three miles is probably my limit). Is there someone with a car who'd be interested in driving people up there from Boston?

This is for SUNDAY. Saturday is Bartley's. I'm going on Saturday, then I'm going hiking on Sunday. If there are any Hatrackers who want to come along, they're welcome and I'll plan the hike to accomodate whoever. Martha suggested we do a hike as a Hatrack picnic thing. So yeah. Unconfused now?

Hmmm, do you have a new e-mail address, Suneun? I keep having my e-mail returned when I try to send it to you.

I'd be up for monadnock, maybe. I think it'd be a fair test of mack's and my own hiking speeds Hopefully I'll be all unpacked from my move by then!

Syn, google and mapquest are your friends. If you can get to a T subway station, you can get to Harvard Square. From there it's no more than a 5-10 minute walk.

Damnit I may have to back out of this one. That'll make two I've missed! Arrrgh.
This weekend is shaping up to be rough, between work, taking the Praxis, and having a freelance deadline on monday.. If I get everything done by Friday, I may head on up, but it's looking doubtful now.

Mack, any time you want to run the Holyoke Range, let me know. I will drop you off and pick you up at points of your choosing, and take you out to lunch.

I'll be there with my brother. I intend to get there at 6pm. I will be wearing blue jeans and, if it is cold, the same jacket I am wearing in the photos posted of me from when Billie, Ted, Jamie and I went to bartleys a couple years ago. If it is not cold, I will be wearing a salty dog cafe t-shirt. it is blue. And I will be standing outside bartleys. I am tall and gangly looking, so if you see a tall gangly guy outside bartleys, its probably me. I figure I stand out a bit, so gather around me, its probably easiest.

I'll be there... with a knapsack on my back!
Well, just a backpack. I have no idea what shirt I'll be wearing. Just look for the guy who looks like he just spent nine hours on a dirty, smelly bus. Posts: 1295 | Registered: Jan 2003

I will be there, albeit late. I'll just go in and look for a group of intellectuals having a good time. You'll know me by my t-shirt (that's all I'm saying).
Suneun doesn't know what she will be wearing (I would guess a Techhouse t-shirt). Mike will wear his Varekai (Cirque du Soleil) t-shirt, which is bright red. They will be accompanied by * and hopefully also by Beca.
A word to the people who are driving to this: wear walking shoes, because you may have to park FAR away.

I'll be there.... wearing something. I will undoubtably have a green backpack with a leather bottom on it. I'll probably also have a green jacket with me. I'm about 5'3" with brown hair and blond hi-lights. Yeah I know not whatelse to tell you

Sorry guys! I couldn't get there. I wasn't even up until 12:30 this afternoon. I went to the Guster concert last night, and I was wiped. I wouldn't have been able to get there. Hope ya'll had fun though!

I talked to martha and mac on the phone from the picnic and they sounded like they were having a blast. Twelve people showed up! They said there will be pictures posted soon.
