We had been pouring over <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dcr/parks/trails/wachusett.pdf">trail maps</a> and plotting a route that would take us around the mountain before going up and over.  We knew we’d be looking at several hours of hiking and so packed a lunch and more water than usual.</p>
