chuck and I (and Trixie) are thinking of coming, but I can't handle 5 miles, so if we come, we'll need to figure out a shortcut - which shouldn't be too hard. There's so many trails out there! Any idea if there is snow and ice on the trails? Our trails up here are still covered with snow.

Cindy and Chuck, we’d love it if you came, there are lots of options we can look at. We can park your car sort of like a shuttle, I’m sure they’ll be others that may want a shorter route as well. And then there’s of course lunch after. Hoping the weather cooperates in the morning. Checking weather daily. Stay tuned.

Do we want to start earlier to avoid the bulk of the rain?

Cindy, if you come, I have something for you!!

Important Update:
Moving the time to 9:00 AM for the original 5 mile hike, to get ahead of the rain. We are also planning an alternate shorter hike at 9:45 AM. For the Shorter hike, plan to meet at Breakheart Pond Parking lot (GPS) n41.595537 w71.703791. The 9:00 AM hikers will start their hike at the intersection of 165 and Frosty Hollow Road and meet up with the 9:45 AM group at Breakheart Pond. Both groups will hike together circling the pond, appoximately 1 hour hike. The 9:00 group can expect a 2 hour hike. All are welcome for lunch at the Cornerstone Pub on Route 3 after the hike.

If anyone wants spikes they are at Job Lot for $20. Ice likes to hide under the leaves. I always use them this time of year. Wish I could ho but I woll be enjoying time with my granddaughters.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow just a few reminders. Bring your blaze orange vest, if you need one I have six or seven extras and I will have them with me. Not a bad idea to have polls this time of year and as Flo mentioned crampons or spikes for your feet are not a bad idea, Not critical but can help. Bring water and a snack and look forward to lunch at the cornerstone pub after our hike. We will have walkie-talkies so we can keep in communication.
