Hiking at Mount Misery in Lincoln, MA

Erika and I, under advisement from boston.com, decided to try to hike to Mount Misery in Lincoln, MA. It was nice to get outside on such a nice day, but the directions from the website were TERRIBLE. We never made it to the mountain, and we never even saw it. A sample from the directions: “Walk up the road for about 50 yards, and take left into Linden Tree Farm”. This sounds like reasonable directions, except when you get to the road, you can either go right or left. “Up” is an ambiguous direction, and I think we went the wrong way. I would not recommend attempting to do this hike, unless you want to wander aimlessly around Lincoln for a while.  On the ride back though, we saved a turtle from getting run over, so I consider this a successful day.  Also, check out my photosynth of Erika on a swing (have to be using Internet Explorer).

The turtle was in the middle of the road.

So we put him in the pond across the street where we think he was headed.
