The snow made the landscape much different than it normally would be. The bridges and board walks were covered and sometimes tough to see. There were also quite a few small trees and bushes that were bent over and blocking the trail with the weight of the snow on them. It also made for some fantastic views along the fields and looking toward the mountains in the distance.
I've been wanting to hike past the Shays Rebellion site for awhile now and it was nice to finally be there. As I hike through many of these New England areas I think of all the history here. What it must have been like to live back in those times. It is very interesting.
