Way to go! Thanks, Jeremy and Greta.

I think your clue is OK with regards to the Visitor's Center. My "50 Hikes
in Massachusetts" book says it's on Mountain Road 3.8 miles north of the
intersection of MA 31 and MA 62 at the square in Princeton. It also says
the center is open year-round daily from 9-4.

BTW, how long did it take you to climb Mt Wachusett? My guide book says
four hours.

It is half an hour on the pine hill trail (although it is quite steep) to
the top from the visitor's center. Half a mile long 800-1000 foot
elevation difference to the top, about an hour or so on the way back down
(Mt House trail, link trail, loop trail, to bicentenial trail.) Parking
lot is open to sunset (however the visitor's center does close
earlier.) I will scan in the trail map in case you need a backup and the
visitor's center is closed.

I cannot believe they said four hours, (It takes about that long to climb
Mt. Washington from Pinkham notch to 6288 ft.)

I suggest 2-3 hours to make it enjoyable.

BTW, we also checked out your Quabbin boxes and the two of them are in
good condition. I liked the Quabbinhendge, pretty neat...

Thanks for the additional directions.

Jeremy

Thanks! I thought 4 hours seemed awfully long.

Who's going to be first to put on a letterbox on Mount Greylock???? :-)
