HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 29 December 2021, Walk the Wilds of Wellesley I
Hike Leaders: Susan Sabin & Don Mannes
~5 or ~3 miles, 10:30 am start from Wellesley, MA
Hikers (22): Susan, Don, Ann Northup, Annemarie Altman, Barbara Jacobs, Dan Nelson, Don Buchholtz, Elsa Lawrence, Gene Ho, Gerry Sheet, Janet Miller, Marie Keutmann, Mike Hanauer, Patrick Ward, Patty Grasso, Romaine Randall, Susan Broome, Ted Nydick, Tom Lawrence, Tony Lee, and first-timers Joey Castro and Nancy Olt.
The day turned out to be a surprise for many. For one thing, the weather was gray and cool - one said “ brisk,” but it was perfect walking weather. For a second, many were very pleasantly surprised by the extensive and interesting trails in Wellesley, which explains the title of the hike: Wilds of Wellesley I. (Stay tuned for #s II & III.) Finally, this was Don’s first time as a co-leader and he was surprised that people actually followed him!
One thing was not a surprise: as always, the WWs who showed up were very congenial and very pleasant to be with. The group stayed together all the way, giving sweep, Joey Castro, little to sweep.
