Attn: Friday Walkers!

Greetings,

This announcement is intended for the Friday walkers.  

In the past the Friday walks have always been just a drop in sort of situation ...9:30 at the Sandwich Library.....but lately as fewer Sandwich walkers have been participating it leaves the "leader" without anyone to "lead", and puts them making a trip in to town needlessly.  

SOOOO... to help with planning purposes, it is now requested that those who plan to participate call the published leader of the walk by 8:00am Friday morning if they intend to walk.  
Your consideration is GREATLY appreciated!

on behalf of the Friday walkers...Thank you.

On top of Whiteface looking north


On Thursday it was off to the Belknap Range for the B Group. We had 12 hikers and a 2 summit challenge. First was up and over to Whiteface. This is the last mountain in the Belknap Trails if you are starting at Mount Major. There are excellent views to the north and west from the summit. After picking blueberries along the way (yes, there were a lot that were ready to be picked) we headed over to Piper for lunch. From Piper you can see over 28 summits.
