 | Comments: |
Hills of Dogtown, Gloucester. The Babson Boulders made this big fun, despite the bugs and rain. Otherwise, cellar holes and one good view of Babson Reservoir are about it. Cape Ann Sportsman's Club, which appears to be about 5 yards from the trailhead, was simulating a war when I started my hike, which motivated me to move briskly. |
