A fall favorite: Starting near the Book
Mill in Montague, Mass.,
.we follow the Book Mill cue sheet or the Book Mill Extended cue sheet from Seven Hills Wheelmen. This time we did the shorter version,
without the Bridge of Flowers,
at a "smell the flowers" pace. Make that "smell the foliage." More of the scenic highlights are shown
in our 2006 photos,
Pete's 2008 video, SL's 2009 photos, and our 2009 photos, 2011 photos and 2012 photos. |
