Yesterday we went for a walk at the Nobscot Boy Scout Reservation. Finally, after taking many previous hikes there, we took the trail to the tower. Granted you can't climb the tower and get the view you see at Tippling Rock, but now when we see the tower on the horizon we can say, "We climbed up there."
It was a great walk for crawling over boulders, photographing flowers and such, and for getting out in the cool summer air.
The one down side was there were no printed maps at the sign in station, so we
committed a map to memory. The hike up was fine, but on the way down took a wrong turn and ended up down the road from the camp entrance. Life was not over. Still finding a great toad, did not keep the younger set from getting nervous.
Despite getting turned around, I would hike there again in a heart beat. I love being out in the woods for a walk. That and the fact, I printed a map off the internet. Next time.

Just a friendly hint, when they do not have a map. Then take a picture of the map with your phone, camera or PDA and then you will have at least something to try to look at.
Just a tip
Love,
Bro
That is a great tip.
Thanks.
