Number 2 in the small peaks of Massachusetts Series
I'm interested in climbing some of Massachusetts' smaller peaks and Great Meadow Hill in Rehoboth is high on my list (don't ask why - some will quickly guess!) Google Maps
If you look at the aerial on the Google Map you'll see a bunch of buildings, a road and even a parking lot. Sound like a drive up, no? No! Turns out in the 60s this was a Nike Site and now is a Superfund Site!
Before calling the proper authorities I'd like to know if anyone lives near there and knows anything about access. Zooming in closely on the aerial does not show any fences or gates. Maybe on a Sunday morning it would be a drive up (um, walk up - this is a peakbagging board.)
Anyone live in this area? Maybe drop by on the way home from work and ask (don't forget your hazmat suit )
Thanks
Note: this post replaces the one I recently added which said the hill was in Foxboro. It's in Rehoboth, not Foxboro, sorry.
