Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

Directions: The rear entrance shares a parking lot with the Northeast Regional Voc Tech, whose address is "100 Hemlock Rd, Wakefield, MA". (Entering "Breakheart Reservation Wakefield Entrance" works too.)

Note that there are two schools in the area. There’s an elementary school on the main road. The Voc Tech is out of sight behind it up a short road (Hemlock) to the right of the elementary school. (There is a sign for the Voc Tech at the bottom of the road.)

Pass the guard shack and you will see a large lot. The school will be on the left and the two stone pillars at the far end mark the reservation entrance. Park anywhere (it’s free) and we’ll meet to the left of the pillars.

I'll be wearing a beige Yosemite cap.

For reference, I’ve included a map roughly showing where "F", the front entrance is and "R" where the rear/Wakefield entrance is, We're meeting at "R". (If you drive in and see a visitor center, you're at "F". To get to "R", drive back out to the main road and turn right. At the traffic light, turn right again. Down a ways the road opens up. Turn right at Voc Tech sign onto Hemlock Rd.)
