Western Mass Hilltown Hikers join the Northern Berkshire Mineral Club at the old emery mines. Rocks galore! Shafts and tailing piles left from the old operations.

Moving on to Chesterfield, we accessed the Indian Hollow area where camping can be found. Crossing the Dead Branch River right near its intersection with the Westfield River, we now entered Huntington and the ending point of last weeks long sojourn from the Knighville Dam to this river crossing. Not far further, we once again saw the old charcoal kiln remnants eventually making our way to the beginning of a trail to The Pinnacle. Here we met fellow member Karen,who had started out hours earlier in Knightville, walking towards us. Most of the members went on to The Pinnacle, I walked back to the kilns and across the river with Karen.
