Breakneck Hill Conservation Land

Breakneck Hill Conservation Area is a beautiful spot in Southboro, very close to home.  I've avoided walking here before because it is so popular with unleashed dog walkers.  I really have to work up my courage to walk in a place where loose dogs are common, and it's just usually easier to go somewhere dogs aren't permitted.  Today, I  took a chance and I had almost finished my hike when two women walking two unleashed dogs came up the hill and, of course, one of the dogs jumped on me.  I am definitely gaining more control over my fear of dogs, but really, this doesn't help!
