June 29th we hiked the Tyringham Cobble loop trail, it was muggy and hot but who cares…it’s hike day! The cobble offered two vistas, beautiful fields, forest that was once pastures, a cellar hole, stone walls and giant old white birch. After our climb up into the cobble we enjoyed the view at Cobble Hill 1365 feet.
