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.

Participants

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.
