Location

In the middle of Arsenal Park, in Watertown, MA, right next to the Charles River. Looks like a lovely spot, very accessible via transit.

Plans

I've been waiting for an easily accessible spot in Boston for a while, and finally there is one ... but I'm going to be on a day trip in the opposite direction most of the day! If I'm not too tired, I may try and make it there late at night.

Sadly, I only got back at 9:30 PM, and my family veto'ed my plans to head out that night -- but I'm still planning to head over there tomorrow morning! So it'll be a retrohash, but only by a few hours!

Actually, there was a conflict again. :-(

Expedition

Finally made it, right around 11 AM the next day (Sept 8). It was a nice bus ride along a route I was less familiar with, and the park and weather was very pleasant. I'd actually been nearly right at the spot some months prior.

Photos

Made it, 11 hours too late. It is indeed a lovely spot. @42.3598,-71.1609
