39. College Rock to Adams Street

Week 39  4/20/16 

The Hopkinton trail system has been featured here in Week 29. On that day we made a plan to revisit with a different route. This day we parked car #1 in Holliston on Adams Street, then drove car #2 to College Rock. Still looking for signs of spring every week (this is a slow year!) we did find some greenery in this beautiful spring, as well as many tree buds and mosses.  

Here is one of the many local examples of glacial erratics. Much of this area is traversed by stone walls, indicating that it used to be farmland. Paul is very good at picking up clues of how land has been used as well as sharing his geological and forestry knowledge.
