Once you exit Leominster, the Midstate Trail seems to be squeezed in on all sides by suburbia and farmland. It crosses a highway overpass, and at another point it goes under a railway underpass with no sidewalk.

At three hours into my hike, it was time to turn around. I felt good, not tired at all. It was a good stopping point, at the intersection of several streets - Bragg Hill Rd, Oakmont Ave, and South Ashburnham Rd - so I'll know about how far I got once I get the trail map.

At four hours, my body said "hey, we've been going for a while now, and I think it's about time we should end this hike." However, calling in an extraction team was not an option, so I told it to shush and keep going.
