Hike of Upton State ForestUpton, MAApril 25th, 2010 |
Our trip to Upton State Forest was special because it was the first time we'd ever gone hiking there. It was also Jill's first time organizing an Outing Club trip, so we took lots of pictures of her. |

In addition to hiking, Upton State Forest is a popular spot for horseback riding. In fact, a riding competition was just ending as we arrived.
Here's Therese checking out one of the horse jumps.

Parts of the forest were littered with large boulders which we climbed over and under.

 |
Elsewhere we navigated our way across marshes and streams. |

|
Mugsy came along too. He liked playing on the horse jumps and sitting on the rocks in the stream. 
|
Therese thought the rocks looked like fun and decided to join him.
|
Jill and Greg made friends with the wildlife we met along the way.

Down by Dean Pond, Jill, Christy and Kirsten encounter more little critters, this time of the human species.
