 On Sept. 12, the Friday Walkers hiked the Dot Banks trail to Lost Pond.  Since we usually do this hike in June, we very much appreciated the lack of bugs in September!

Aug 28th, Zealand Bonds Traverse, and Dick's over 80 finish of the 48 4,000 footers!

 On a picture perfect day, at the wee hours of the morning a group make the infamous car spot at Lincoln Woods, and then head to Zealand trail to start the long, and jaw dropping traverse back to the car 21 miles away.  This day was special, as at the conclusion, Dick celebrated his completion of his 8th round, this one while over the age of 80!  An impressive accomplishment indeed!  Congratulations, Dick!

B group hikes Mt. Zealand, Aug 28th

The B group set out to do a 4k today.  We started at Zealand Trail, went up to the hut, then over to Zeacliff and finally to the summit.  Zeacliffs is an amazing view, and the whole hike is a wonderful journey through such varied woods, ponds, rocks, and paths.  It was a wonderful hike, coming in at around 11.6 miles.
