9:00 AM

Meet at church and drive to the Dunbar Brook trailhead, a distance of about 94 miles and about two hours driving time.

There is a tent site available on a first come first served basis in Monroe State Forest.  We will hike about seven tenths of a mile from the parking area to the site.  There we will eat lunch, set up camp, and gather firewood.

Participants will bring their own food, camping gear, tents, and sleeping gear and are invited to cook their meals over the campfire.

After lunch on Saturday, we will explore the old growth forest on the steep rocky slope above Dunbar Brook.  There are trees, including one white pine, in the area that are several hundred years old, three to four feet in diameter, and very tall.  There are also sizeable old yellow birch, sugar maple, red maple, and poplar trees in the area.

Sunday, June 15:

After a leisurely breakfast, we will explore some of the nearby trails.

After lunch, we will drive back to Worcester.
