“When it comes to body-image issues, we are all in our own personal hells. And my hell is but a flickering Bic lighter when compared with others. But that’s the thing about hells: Comparing them does not lead you to the exit door of your own. Even as I grew older, matured, found somewhat more stable relationships, even as my weight fluctuated, my sense of self never did. Not once did I like what I saw in the mirror whenever I saw myself in it.” — Confessions of a Former Former Fat Kid

Join us for a hike along Dunbar Brook, deep in the wilderness of the Monroe State Forest. This moderate trail follows the brook with crystal clear water and countless small waterfalls. We’ll stop for lunch at a trail shelter where we can briefly leave the trail to see some larger waterfalls as they cascade between steep and deeply forested hillsides. Be sure to bring a small backpack with lunch and something to drink. If the water is low enough for us to find a safe crossing, we can even bushwhack a short distance to visit the largest White Pine tree in Massachusetts! Our round trip hike will be about 2.5 miles, allowing plenty of time for exploring, taking pictures, and looking for animal tracks and sign. Transportation is not provided.
