Jeanine and I had an opportunity to go for a walk this evening while waiting for Maya to finish soccer practice. We discovered the Emerson-Thoreau Amble which was just completed in June. It is a wonderful 1.7 mile trail that runs from Heywood Meadow (near Concord Center) through the Hapgood Wright Town Forest and ultimately to Walden Pond. The Amble also forms part of the Bay Circuit Trail (BCT); its path over the Emerson land reroutes the BCT from busy roads to a nature trail. The trail’s route includes a crossing over the Mill Brook behind the Emerson House and on the reconstructed bridge over a tributary of the Mill Brook. After collecting Maya we attended a fund raising party for her soccer team where we met parents of all CCHS girl soccer players.
