Trails in MA...

[Craisy Daisy]

Further to this thread here, are there many trails in MA? If so, what is the difficulty rating? I will be in MA for Thanksgiving arriving Tuesday 20th (I think) and it would be neat to hit some trails with some fellow X'ers in the area.

EDIT - I will be in Townsend for the weekend, not just Thanksgiving.

Then I assume you will be visiting me and the wife as well :smoka:

Especially Friday and after... my mother in law is coming (not that I don't love her) but I will have free time to play that weekend as a result. There are some decent trails around me, and some other ones in NH, and one I was recently told about in Stow.

I hear Old Florida Road is pretty good http://www.expoffroad.org/of11_01.html

I have yet to find it, but I've heard it is challenging.

I know where Florida Rd. is. it's out in western Mass... let me see if I can find some topo maps....

it's just below the red bullseye, it starts at lower left and ends upper right. It's a helluva bitch of a trail, requiring winching if not lockers.

I haven't searched that hard for it, but I couldn't find it on TopoZone.com (which usually has everything I'm looking for), mapquest, yahoo, etc.
