Wompatuck State Park, Hingham - 4/28/2013

It was a pretty good trip. I think there must have been around 15 people, a good mix of SSBC & BBC members. Glenn d'Entremont recorded the numbers for me. Since the gates were locked we walked in from the parking lot across the street from the visitors center at 6:30AM and got back to the cars around 10:00AM, at which point Glenn had to leave. I then took some folks down to Holly Pond Loop Road and then onto Picture Pond. Here is his list, with my additions:
