Hike Sunday?

Posted by Skye on 1/20/2022, 11:23 am

I’m putting feelers out to see if anyone is interested in a hike on Sunday - no place in mind, as I figured I’d cater it to the region where there are hikers. I was thinking late morning, but am flexible. It would be nice to see people!

By Friday afternoon, if no interest, I’ll make other plans… so if this sounds good, let me know.

Sounds good. I am interested. How long, time or distance, do you expect to go?

We planned to cater the length to the hikers who come … if left to our own devices, 4-6 miles? If just you and us, maybe halfway between us, northern RI or southern MA?

West Hill Dam in Uxbridge? I think we’ve been there once, but it looks like there are a decent number of trails.

I could be in. I'll know later tonight. I've been there once and need to know the street address to get there again. Bill Luther

Sounds good, the wind can be cold across the top of the dam but by late morning it should be fine. You had said late morning, anything 10:00 or later is good for me.

Noon would be perfect for us - after church - if that works. Is there only one parking area?

Just to make sure we meet at the same place - please use the pin or review the spot. I think there are 2 options.

If anyone doesn’t have our cell, please contact me privately.

Hi Skye. Can’t make it this Sunday but thanks for offering. Agree it would be good to see some people. Hopefully soon!

Noon works for us. The 518 East Hartford Ave Uxbridge parking area in your links is the one I know. The address is 518 East Hartford but you actually turn north from E Hartford onto West Hill Dam Rd, I think there may be no road signs but there are stone walls marking the entry way to the Army Corp of Eng site. There is a parking area very close to W Hartford Ave, but drive further north and you may be able to park closer to the gate and trails.

Sounds good - it may be just Frank, Bill(?), and us. We will be offline by 9:15am on Sunday, so see you guys at noon. I’m planning on the 4 mile perimeter trail.

I should be there on Sunday. I'm not checking the weather yet. It was cold today and I survived. Actually without any wind, it was a nice day. I'll contact Skye about her phone so I won't get lost.There are several NFL games on this weekend so I won't be missing too much. Bill

Susan and I are going to try to make the hike. That's it 12 noon right?

Yes, noon. See you there!

Hi all: I hiked with my winter hike group today in Medfield, Mass. Two people fell flat on their faces today, both got concussions and one got taken off in a rescue wagon. The flat spots on the trails were patches of ice. If you have traction for your boots, bring them. The ground is hard. Thanks, BIll
