Borderland State park , Easton , MA

[splat]

the emails went around and it was settled Borderland 9 am Saturday. well I got up and ready to go, and stared on my Way , when it started Snowing !??!! It was raw and nasty out so I was wondering if this was a bad Idea. I got to the parking Lot and was still wondering if this was really a good idea. any way off we went . We started out as a group of 12 , Off we go!

Fire -- Good

Kell and I had a apt. in Mansfield, right near the commuter rail station for about a year and a half and then we bought a townhouse in North Easton across the street from the Shaws Plaza/5-corners. Loved that area!
