Tully Trail as a winter hike

[Dugan]

Okay, so two days' notice last week probably wasn't enough to allow for planning...

Would anyone be interested in picking up the Tully Trail (yes, the whole thing) as a day hike some time this winter? It's a loop of about 18 miles, fairly easy terrain, located in North Central MA.

Hi D.

Sure, keep me posted. It would be good to get out with you folks again.

I'm interested as long as we can do it after the holidays. I have to use up some vacation time, so I may even be up for a mid-week stroll between x-mas and new years.

The in-laws are buying me snowshoes for x-mas, so my winter activities will be expanding.

After the holidays looks better for me too at this point. How 'bout sometime in January or February, but not around the weekend of 1/21?

Of course, that's pending weather and conditions once we set a date.

Nothin' like an 18-miler to break in new snowshoes!

Smitty77 - would you be planning to bring your dog for this? Dugan four-legs is a maybe, depending on conditions. He's fine with other dogs, as long as they don't act aggressively toward him.

Assuming the snowshoes come in. I got a good deal on some MSR Denali Classics at Campmor, but they are backordered until 12/20. Hopefully they will arrive soon.

As for the pooch, I'm not sure. We haven't been doing a lot of hiking, so I don't know if her feet will hold up over 18 miles. I guess I have some time to get her out there and see.
