This ramble will circle Horn Pond in Woburn, followed by a group lunch at Bacci’s on Main Street in Stoneham. Although Horn Pond is relatively near the center of Woburn, and frequented by dog walkers, most of our route will be away from both streets and homes.
Schedule:
11:00 Orientation and Ramble at Horn Pond, Lake St. parking lot
12:30 Group lunch at Bacci’s of Stoneham, 316 Main Street
There is no charge for the ramble, and the charge for the optional lunch will be $15 (tip included). Bacci’s is an old style family owned community Italian restaurant. As our group size has the potential to overwhelm the restaurant, they have asked that we preorder lunch selections. The lunch will consist of a welcoming glass of wine (red or white), salad, bread (garlic a specialty), and your choice of one of the four entrees below. As they are not staffed for individual billing, please bring $15 cash to contribute to the communal bill. Optional deserts or other drinks would be extra.
Entree choices:
Eggplant Parmigiana over Pasta
Turkey Tips Marinated in teriyaki sauce with Pasta or Rice
Chicken, Ziti & Broccoli
Baked Haddock w/Rice or Potato & Mixed Vegetables:
While there is no limit to the number of people we can take on the Ramble, we may have space limitation at the restaurant with participation based on the order that reservations for the ramble are received.
A confirmation of your reservation will be sent, and more specific information and directions will be provided by e-mail a few days before the event to those who register. Should inclement weather intrude, we will reschedule later in the week.
Questions should be directed to the e-mail address below, or by phone to Paul Upson at 781-862-2827.
Registration: By email only to Paul Upson at pwupson@gmail.com
Members will be limited to one guest.
The ramble will cover about 2+ miles along a street side sidewalk, dirt and some paved broad forest trails, and a section of a single track forest route. The walk will take somewhat over an hour of steady walking, though virtually the entire trail is level. An alternate trail for a portion of the route, including hilly terrain, is also available with essentially the same length, but taking a bit more time – let us know if you are interested.
We would expect to spend about an hour and a half at Horn Pond before driving approximately 15 minutes to the optional lunch at Bacci’s in neighboring Stoneham. There is sufficient free parking at both locations.
