Sunday we ventured out to see the progress at the new DCR Chester Blandford State Forest add on in Blandford, parking at 160 Chester Road in Blandford along the road (hopefully just for now).  Fields and paths have been mowed so we hiked the perimeter of the old Christmas Tree farm feeling festive among beautiful blue spruce and along stone walls.  This area will be great for cross country skiing and snowshoe in the winter!  Awesome views of Round Top Hill, highest point in Hampden County too! Hopefully there will be some new trail connections on the old cart paths and logging roads to old Sanderson Brook Road and Hilltown Hikers Park Knox Acres Hiking Trails, way to go DCR! this new area is huge!
