Another trip to the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts, this time from Route 20 to County Road, including the Towns of Becket, Lee, and Washington.

I climbed Becket and Walling Mountains, and circled some of Finnerty Pond.  Crossed at least three decent flowing brooks along the section in October Mountain State Forest.  Ended with 10.7-miles.
