HIKE REPORT
Wednesday, 22 February 2023, Hike around Morse Pond
Hike Leader: Susan Sabin, 781 424 8856, <susabin@verizon.net>
~4 miles, 10:00 am start from Wellesley, MA
Hikers (17): Susan, Ann Northup, Annemarie Altman, Betty Salzberg, George Stromberg, Kristina Leclaire, Lynell Stromberg, Lynne O’Riorden, Margie Lee, Marie Keutmann, Mike Hanauer, Phyllis Evan, Romaine Randall, Sharon Ellis, Tom Allen, Tony Lee, and first-timer Barbara Bix.
Seventeen walking wheelers met near Wellesley center for our walk in the woods. The day, coming before a country-wide return of winter, was warm, sunny, and inviting. Since we overwhelmed the small parking lot, we had a late-ish start as we waited for latecomers, who parked on a nearby street, to arrive at the start.
As promised, the hike was varied and, except for the leader needing to reconnoiter a lost path to “Pickle Point” (a tiny peninsula jutting into the pond), was only remarkable for its unexpected vistas. After a quick vote, we took the long way around the little beach community that borders Morse Pond, before returning to the woods and making our way to Wellesley's public beach.
Somewhere along the way we saw the first crocuses of spring. Hold your breath!
