 | Date of Hike: |
Saturday, April 3, 2010 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
A small parking area off Kettlehole Drive, near the Lincoln line, is a convenient start for a hike south through Wayland. Plenty of parking at Wayland Depot, for a south terminus. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud, Standing/Running Water on Trail |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Considering that many Wayland roads were still flooded in spots from the Sudbury R., we were reasonably happy that only three segements were flooded: (1) Trout Brook Bridge, but I think it could be waded, (2) 200 yards of Sedge Meadows, starting at the bottom of the first field and (3) a quarter-mile of Cow Common, nearest the Sudbury. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
This was a working hike - some blazing and clearing, a useful reroute in Trout Brook Conservation Area and scouting for future reroutes. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
|
|
 | Bugs: |
None yet. No ticks observed. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A set of keys lost (not by me) somewhere between Kettlehole Drive and the Campbell Rd. entrance to Trout Brook Conservation Area. |

 | Comments: |
A summery day made it particularly enjoyable to gather a group of the people most interested in the Wayland section of the Bay Circuit Trail, which is much better marked than when I hiked it in the summer of 2008. We skipped Castle Hill because there is no legal egress fom its south end - our next project. |
