Day 8: graylock and beantown

Our first destination today was mount graylock, the tallest point in Massachusetts. It's no beast at some 3,500 feet, but there's a lot of hiking trails there and it's on the way to Boston so why not.

We picked a 5.6 mile round trip approach from the city of Adams, ma. It was steadily up, but nothing out of the ordinary. The view is amazing, although you can also drive right up it, meaning there's lots of people milling about. There's even an old school lodge to stay at, with fairly reasonable prices given its location.

We weaved through some more back roads and eventually hooked into the notorious 90 east turnpike,  Boston bound.

Stopped at a Whole Foods to pick up some pizza supplies to cook for Mel Howe, Kate's friend that we are staying with in Boston. Mel lives in Quincy, just south of Boston. Kate did some catching up as we cooked up our standard pizza. Not a super eventful day,  but we are ready to roll tomorrow in Boston.
