I was gonna do Wachusett Mt., (highest peak in MA east of the Connecticut River (all of 2006' MSL) - park off somewhere in Princeton/Westminster to have a few miles warmup, elevations around 600', and then go take the access roads up to the top. It's hawk migration right now and I was going to bring my binoculars and join the birders that I know would be at the top. Ten minutes before leaving I got a phone call from friends saying they were passing through in two hours and how about a visit. So I said ok. So I stayed around my area and climbed some hills near me, about 2400' in 17 miles. It was a beautiful day without any wind and the sun was very warm. I'll table Wachusett for now, and maybe save it for when the autumn colors start in and still be able to catch a kettle of hawks.
