Summary
Continuing the Turkey Tramp tradition, let me be your guide since I used to work here. We will meet at the Trail head 1/2 mile into Mashamoquet Brook State Park located on Route 44 in Pomfret, CT. This year we will walk clockwise. This 4 1/2 mile, moderate, dog on leash hike, will allow you to visit Stephan Avery's Revolutionary War grave site, sit on Indian Chair,where Chief Uncas sat.; take a short water/snack break; crawl into the historic Wolf Den: get Post Thanksgiving exercise and enjoy good company for a peaceful fun time. Please meet at 10:30 AM for an 11 AM sharp start. We will have an optional late lunch around 2:15 PM at the Vanilla Bean Cafe. This event is also listed with Chiltern Mountain Club and CT Pride Hikers.
