RED (Or
Blue Lining for some people) ------
the BLUE ^^^^’s
START TIME AND
MEETING PLACES: This week, May 1, 2008, we will be hiking up and around
the Tucker and Buck Hills area. I still
haven’t worked out the exact trails yet, but I think we will be gaining a
little more elevation. This is where we
begin to expand our hikes from flat to flat out tiring. Start time is 6:03 P.M. I am giving everyone an extra 3 minutes to
get ready since I have a few new people to meet (and it takes so dang long to
sign in).
We will begin, again, from the parking area at Houghton’s Pond. To get there, take Route 128 to exit 3 and
travel North to the end. Take a right
and drive about ½ mile to the large Houghton’s Pond Parking Lot. Fred Wason and I will be leading and Holly
Makowsky, Cheryl Lathrop, and Walt Granda will be our co-leaders. I’m also interested in getting some of you,
who are interested in becoming leaders, into a more pro-active roll. Please let me know if this is you and I’ll
sign you up as a co-leader.
Oh, one more thing. I’m not
extremely picky about having every type of hiking clothing and equipment in the
world on our RLBH hikes, however, I am strict about headlamps (you regulars know
why), water and rain coats. Please make
sure you have these items and please pay attention to the *1 Quart Minimum* of
water. I know some of you don’t drink
that much (someone I know in particular!) but I would rather you carry more and
not drink it than not having enough and needing it.
