Purgatory Chasm

Today's trail was purgatory chasm in Massachusetts, which I hiked with two friends and their doggie.

What I brought-

• My targus laptop backpack (don't judge, we're all amateur hikers here)
• lunch with ice packs, two water bottles
• a book (it's like my safety blanket)
• a small notepad and 2 pens
• a ziploc bag for stuff that I didn't want to get wet (I may or may not have brought cosmetics)
• a jacket
• my Katniss braid
• dog repellent as a replacement for mace (go figure, I brought this when I hiked with other people, but not by myself). Thank you, Mr. K! Here's a picture of it-

What I didn't bring-

• My walking stick :(  This turned out to be a good thing, though, because part of the trail felt more like mountain climbing than hiking, and I needed both of my hands.
• 

What I actually used-

• My lunch and my water
• My Katniss braid, because it lives on my head

Here is what the rocks looked like-

And this-

Cool right?  If you're scared of all the rocks, there were other trails that were even easier, cleaner and wider than the ones in West Greenwich.

It was a little soggy, but we missed the rain, thankfully (It rained before we got on the trail and right as we were leaving).

Let me know if you go!
