Putney Woods, Saratoga Woods and Metcalf Trail System — Saturday, Sep. 16, 2023

More hikey than I was expecting from a community trail system, which was great! The only downside was the slightly confusing system which absolutely requires a well-labeled trail map. The south trail section was well maintained and relatively easy to navigate with maps and trail signs posted as most intersections; but the north end was pretty jumbled with multiple downed trail signs, missing maps, and a somewhat chaotic number of non-regulation trails that are just as maintained as the real one; leaving me confused and standing in some poor resident's backyard on more than one occasion. Regardless, it was a lovely, if somewhat boilerplate hike.
