Trail Mixers along the Blackstone Canal
When
Starting Saturday, July 28, 2007 2:00 pm aka This Saturday
What
The Blackstone Canal was an engineering marvel connecting Worcester to Providence when it opened in 1828. However it was soon replaced by railroad and fell into disuse a mere twenty years later. Now it’s a well maintained trail through woods, wilds, & old orchards; sometimes along the old tow-path, other places in the former canal bed.
We’ll meet at the parking lot of River Bend Farm in Uxbridge at 2pm and from there carpool “upriver” to our starting point. Parking & admission are free. The path is level and generally well-maintained so everyone should be comfortable. We’ll be walking about 3 miles. Dogs & cameras are welcome. We’ll be hiking even if it is cloudy or rainy, it’s still fun & spectacular.
Afterwards everyone is invited to join us for an all-you-can-eat family-style dinner at Wright’s Farm (great roast chicken!) Then later that night the MB Lounge in Worcester is hosting a Bear Night.

Great, I want to participate! I know the park will welcome Hans (my mini-Dachshund), but what do I do with him at the restaurant and bar?
