Saturday’s flash hike took us section hiking NOBO on the Appalachian Trail 5.6 miles Tyringham to Becket, spotting cars at either end.  Stephanie started on Main Road in Tyringham climbing Baldy Mountain and we started an hour or so later at Goose Pond Road meeting up with her along Upper Goose Pond.  This section is beautiful with the Mountain Laurel in bloom creating a canopy, lots of thru hikers; shout out to Back Nine and Taxi and everyone else we talked to along the way! At the junction of Goose Pond Cabin we took the half mile spur to visit John Purbrick, caretaker.  Back on the trail coming down to the Mass Pike foot bridge, crossing where the Pike proudly displays the Appalachian Trail signage, a cool spot! Finally coming across Greenwater Pond and an old Tannery Dam and out to spotted cars at Route 20. Easy to moderate hiking.
