Please join me for a 5-6 mile hike in the beautiful woodlands of the 3000 acre property owned by the Metropolitan District water company (www.themdc.com).  We'll hike to a rocky viewpoint overlooking Hartford and eastern CT for lunch; then wander down and back around 2 reservoirs to end the walk.  The current extended forecast would indicate this will indeed be a hike, but if it happens to snow enough before the 17th, it would become a XC event.

From the North and South: Take I-91 South or North to I-84 West and follow the directions below.

From the East and West: Take I-84 to Exit 39 (Route 4). At the end of the ramp take a right at the light onto Route 4 East towards UConn Medical Center and West Hartford. At the sixth light (a distance of 2 ½ miles) take a left into the Facility.

We'll meet at the walking bridge leading from the parking lot to the MDC property.  Please bring a lunch and beverage and wear sturdy hiking shoes/boots.
