A few basic notes: The Over the Hill Hikers is a hiking group and if you start off on a hike you should plan on finishing the hike with the group. Conditions in the White Mountains can change drastically and quickly..be aware of forecast and possible changes to it and plan gear accordingly. If you are one of leaders who has volunteered to lead a group please find an alternate if you are unable to attend. As hikes, please follow the lead of the leaders, wait at junctions to be sure everyone is with the group, and have fun

Annual dues of $5.00 for each hiker or walker can be paid to Mary Cullen, box 312, Center Sandwich Nh 03227...send cash...its the easiest...

Happy trails
