I started out this morning in the town of Westford,
visiting the
Westford Knight, which has been totally redone since
the last time I was here.
From here, it was on to Chelmsford
 |
Chelmsford Water District Pumping Station,
66 Warren Avenue |
for my first hike of the day at
Crooked Spring Reservation, where the path I took here is shown below in pink.
The main water body was alright I guess,
but the smaller one wasn't worth the trip.
Making my way back along the road, my next destination was the
Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in town, parking at the junction of North Road and Littleton Road,
then heading southwestwards
Nothing much to see on this stretch though.
My next hike was at the
Archer Meadowbrook Preserve.
I first tried to enter the area from the Fenwick Drive side, but decided to retreat after seeing that it was so overgrown. I then tried again from the East Putnam Avenue side, but encountered the same issue.
Giving up, I decided to head into Billerica instead,
 |
| Clock Tower Place, 17 Bridge Street |
going for a hike at
Fox Hill.
There was nothing to see at the top of the hill itself, but there were views from the trail perpendicular to Gail Ann Road.
With that, I called it a day, getting a Junior Roast Beef Sandwich from
Liberty Bell in town,
Pretty nice fast food looking restaurant actually for a pizza takeout place. Sandwich itself was not bad, though not the best.
Not satisfied, my next stop was
Crazy Good Kitchen in Malden, a breakfast place that has taken over from the Lunch Box Diner,which I visited
a while back.
Same decor, but totally different and interesting menu, of which I got the Chicken Poppers,
Pretty good, especially with the sauces on the side. Might want to come back again to try their other stuff.
Later for lunch, I got the MI HOANH THANH BO KHO (Wonton with egg noodles in beef brisket and tomato broth) from
New Dong Khanh in Boston. The wontons were a little on the hard side, but everything else was really delicious.
