Route 202 Quabbin Overlook Cache
A beautiful view of the Quabbin.
I drive by this overlook to the Quabbin reservoir every time I go into the offices in Burlington.
It’s gorgeous all year long, though in summer you get only a fleeting glimpse of the actual reservoir.
Ironically, the Quabbin reservoir actually services Boston. They ship it half way across the state.
Massachusetts politics pretty much pits the entire state against greater metropolitan Boston. That is, the state collects taxes from us all and spends most of it inside route 128. Every now and then someone jokes (sometimes not entirely without seriousness) about secession.
We’re taking the Quabbin with us.
The Route 202 Quabbin Overlook Cache is very cleverly concealed.
If you’re driving 202, the overlook is worth a stop, whether you’re seeking the cache or not.
