OTHH B-Group Hikes for May-June 2013

Thanks, Pat, for getting this out.  Perhaps it should go out to the entire OTHH list since others may be interested in a B hike when an A hike does not appeal.  Another person interested in B hikes is Susan Mitchell.  Also I suggest you include my cell phone number as a way to contact me 603-969-8743.

I will call you after I talk with Mary.
