Continuing the Turkey Trail Tramp tradition, let me be your guide since I used to work here. We will meet at the Trail head located 1/2 mile into Mashamoquet Brook State Park located on Route 44 in Pomfret, CT. This year we will walk counterclockwise. This 4 1/2 mile, moderate, dog on leash hike, will allow you to crawl into the historic Wolf Den; sit on Indian Chair, where Chief Uncas once sat; take a short water/snack break; visit Stephen Avery's Revolutionary War grave site; get Post Thanksgiving exercise and enjoy good company for a peaceful fun time. Please meet at 10:30 AM for a 11 AM sharp start. We will have an optional late lunch around 3 PM at the Vanilla Bean. This event is also listed with Chiltern Mountain Club and other groups.

 From Hartford: 84 east to 44 east; Providence: Rt 6 west to 44 west; Boston, Worcester, and New London: 395 to exit 93 to 101 west to 44 west. Park is located about 2 miles from 101/44 junction on left side. Park and meet at trailhead 1/2 mile into park. Look for red Prius.
