Beartown State Forest
|
Ten of us headed out west to Great Barrington, MA on a Friday afternoon and set up camp at the Beartown State Forest campground
(though didn't see any bears, thank god!). We camped on the edge of Benedict Pond.
|
| Saturday we got up bright and early to have breakfast and get on the road to hike Bear Mountain in Salisbury, CT, about 15 miles to our south. A few stayed back to explore the town of Great Barrington as the rest of us others trekked up the mountain. |

 |
Later in the afternoon, we all traveled to Bash Bish Falls in the town of Mt. Washington, MA to enjoy the atmosphere of one large, beautiful waterfall! |
|
| The weather was gorgeous, so we hung around for a while, relaxing on the rocks surrounding the falls and exploring the area. |
|
Careful though! The water was FREEZING! |
We hopped across Bash Bish Brook below the falls. Ali stretches to the limit trying |
...then she comes up with a better idea (compliments of Gretchen).
|
Clarke rises to the challenge with a Superman-style flying leap! |

| We got back to camp late afternoon and everyone rested. Then we set up for dinner and played some fun games (a little bit of catchphrase, and a game called girl talk). Sunday morning we rose early as well, packed up, had breakfast in town, and headed back to Clark. It was a great trip. |
