I've often heard children say, "There's nothing to do today". I beg to differ. I'd like to inspire you to do something. Anything. Read. Bake. Hike. Fish. Plant. Sail. Climb. Play. Reach. Move. Laugh. Dream; and take time to sit with me on The Old Granite Step.

A Winter hike into Dana, Massachusetts; you won't find it on any current map.



Shortly before this week's snowstorm, which brought a foot of snow to the Quabbin region of Massachusetts, we hiked into Dana, Massachusetts.  Technically, Dana no longer exists.  Neither does Enfield, Prescott or Greenwich.  People in these four towns were forced to give up their homes so that residents of Boston could have a fresh supply of water.
