Did you grab a a snack in Bascom lodge? I love a couple drinks after a hike up there. Killer views.

Closed today, I think because the summit road is closing for the season on October 30.

Oh, bummer!

My grandparents’ hometown. Lots of good memories there.

OP, are you a fellow 718/413-er?

Nah, I'm just an itinerant traveler, but Western Mass has a real special place in my heart after years of motorcycle touring in New England. I used to run Hartford-Burlington in college a lot to see my girlfriend and tried to stay as far left of 91 as possible.
