May 28th 2026: Hiking in Lincoln and Horses in Lexington

 Today, we started out in the town of Lincoln, getting a bite from Twisted Tree Cafe,

getting the Golden Turmeric Latte (Oat milk blended with turmeric, spices and a light touch of honey), the Matcha Tea Latte (Locally sourced MEM Tea matcha with your choice of steamed milk, lightly sweetened),

and the Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich (fresh chicken salad with celery, cashews, green onion, cilantro, dried cranberries, and a yellow curry aioli, topped with arugula on a braided seeded roll).

Good combination of flavors in the sandwich.

From here, I went to Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in town to check out the viewpoints I missed the last time I was here. The path I took this time around is shown below in pink.

Nice views from the various viewpoints, although a little disorienting in the fields.

From here, I headed into Lexington,

Lexington Arts and Crafts Society

stumbling onto the horses from Riding Through History.

Lexie the Artful Equine

Inn at Hastings Park

Peace, Love and Music

Landmarks

Illumi-neigh-ted

Ed-Broidery

Call to Arms

Later in the day, dinner was at Brown Rice Thai Cuisine in West Boylston,

this time getting the Coconut Curry Mussels (mussels simmered in light red curry coconut milk sauce, fresh basil, French toast),

the See You in Kale (a healthy combination of pad see-u and the super green vegetable kale stir fried and seasoned with light sauce, egg and tofu),

and the Sweet Thai Dessert Sampler (Thong Yip (pinched egg yolk), Thong Yod (golden egg yolk drops), Foy Thong (golden egg yolk threads) and Coconut Custard).

The dessert tasted a little off because of the strong rose flavor, but otherwise not a bad meal at all. With that, an end to an eventful day of hiking in Lincoln and Horses in Lexington.

July 25th 2021: Hiking in Sudbury, Concord, Lincoln and Winchester

 This drizzly morning, I started out early with a shor hike at the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge in Sudbury, where the path I took from the end of Moore Road to get to the water body here is shown below in pink.

Not bad for a short hike.

Next, it was on to Miller Farm in Concord, where the path I took to try to find the water body here is shown below in pink.

Couldn't get any views of the water body here at all, and I spent a few rounds trying to look for it.

From here, it was on to the town of Lincoln to hike at the Fiske Hill area of the Minuteman National Historical Park. The path I took here to check out the water bodies here is shown below in pink.

The first water body was nothing special,

then it was on past the visitor center, which was closed this early in the morning,

the Jacob Whittemore house, 

the Bluff,

the Hayward Well,

and Fiske Hill, where there were no views to be had.

Overall, still nothing special from this hike, though very historical.

Next, heading into Lexington, I visited MA France, the French grocery in town, 

getting the Almond Croissant

and the Apple Tart.

Unfortunately, I did not get to try either. I have had good stuff from this place in the past though.

From here, it was on to my final hike of the day at Locke Farm Conservation Area in Winchester, which is right next to Whipple Hill in Lexington, which I visited a while back. This time, the path I took to get to Locke Pond and Wright-Locke Farm is shown below in pink.

Locke Pond itself was not bad a look, although pretty swampy.

The other pond right next to the farm was even worse.

At this point as the farm was right there in front of me, I decided to venture out into it instead of back into the woods. Pretty decent farm.

An okay day for hiking in the rain, overall.

For dinner, we decided to get takeout from Shrewsbury Pizzaria, getting the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo pizza 

and the Shrewsbury Special Pizza (Pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, meatballs, green peppers, onions & mushrooms).

Pretty good pizza, although the chicken alfredo was a little on the salty side.

May 25th 2018: Hiking in Lincoln and Wellesley

I started out today in Lincoln, going for a short hike at Snider Pond, where the path I took is shown below in pink.

More of a wetland than a pond though.

From here, it was on to the town of Wellesley, where I took a hike eastwards from 125 Livingston Road at the Susan Lee Memorial Sanctuary. There were views of the Charles River from the path,

but my ultimate goal was the Waban Arches, which were not bad, although I wish I had better views of them.

With that, I called it a day and headed into Natick for breakfast at Casey's Diner, which has to be one of the smallest diners I have been to.

I got the Breakfast Grilled Cheese (Fried Egg, Bacon, tomato on bread),

which was filling but nothing extraordinary.

For lunch, I decided to head to Millbury

Post Office

to check out The Coop, which was a really small takeout like place, though in a modern setting.

I got the BBQ Tips Loaded Wings (BBQ brisket, pork bits, BBQ sauce),

which was actually pretty tasty. Might have been better bone in though.
