Noanet Woodlands winter hike - January 8, 2020

HIKE REPORT

Wednesday, 8 January 2020, Noanet Woodlands winter hike
Hike Leader:  Sandi Hartwell
5+ miles, 10:00 am hike start from Caryl Park, Dover, MA

Hikers (16):  Sandi, Chris George, Clyde Kessel, David Fay, David Wean, Don Buchholtz, Don Mannes, Frank Hubbard, Gerry Sheetoo, Margie Lee, Marie Keutmann, Nancy Schlecht, Richard Fortier, Richard Vignoni, Susan Sabin, and Tony Lee.
Lunch (2):  Helen Greitzer and Rich Taylor.

It was a lovely hike in Noanet Woodlands on pine needles, leaves, and no ice.   We wove through the woods on various trails and were rewarded with sunshine halfway through.  Frank suggested a steep trail to Noanet Peak, so we split into two groups, going on different paths, and met at the summit.  The "surprise" at the top was a pine tree decorated with ornaments, and the view to Boston was pristine.

We managed to complete more than the promised five miles and three hours of hiking.  Following the hike, many of us went to Dover Cafe, where we joined Helen and Rich, arrived after the lunchtime rush, and had a delicious lunch.

Thanks to Frank and Chris for keeping me on track, and to Clyde for sweeping.
