| Weather Station atop Blue Hill |
Great Blue Hill in Milton, MA rises about 400 vertical feet above the surrounding countryside. It's the highest point in the area. An access road about a mile long reaches from Route 38 at the base to the weather station at the top.
This morning I got up, grabbed my bike, tossed it into the back of the truck, and headed over to Blue Hill. No breakfast-not even a sip of coffee. I'd been planning this ride for some time, but somehow it never worked out-until today. Yet I couldn't take long with a full day planned ahead.
I was half-way to the top before I woke up. Glancing over the ski slopes to civilization far below suddenly made me aware of the height I had been gaining. Until then it was all through the woods which pretty much restricted the view to the surrounding trees. It wasn't a clear day in general, so the view from the top was obscured by clouds and fog, but what a great feeling to ride non-stop to the top!
