I'm usually ready for anything in the woods, the teepee was something new...

US-11563 Quisset WMA
I've been burned a few times visiting parks that have had only a few activations. For a while I would get intrigued and excited when I'd find a nearby location that had only been activated one or two times, but then I realized that there usually was a reason.

US-5636 Mt. Greylock State Reserve
Before you judge my planning, it's important to know that there's a road that goes all the way to the tip-top of Mt. Greylock. There's a lodge up there where you can book a room or have a meal while you sit out on the summit on a picnic table. The road was closed.

This is a really weird park. It's very thin, more or less following the Blackstone river, and the main feature is a paved bike path that runs the length.

US-2878 Lincoln State Park / US-5483 Lincoln Woods State Forest
Lincoln State Park is a big bouldering destination in New England, with dozens of named climbs. If you run into a big rock on the trail, it'll have chalk marks and routes on it. It's a large park with plenty of parking, including rentable grilling sites. Bally's casino is next door.

When I mentioned at the cookout that I was heading over there, Bob, of 1300+ activation fame, asked, "How are you going to get in?"
