HIKE REPORT
Wednesday 6 December 2023, Hike from Echo Bridge to Waban Arches
Hike Leader: Susan Sabin
6.5 miles, 10:00 am meeting in Wellesley, MA [hike start from Newton Upper Falls, MA]
Hikers (18): Susan, Barbara Jacobs, Betty Salzberg, Cynthia Zabin, David Wean, Don Buchholtz, Elsa Lawrence, Frank Aronson, Janet Miller, Jeff Wallen, Julie Dodd, Marie Keutmann, Molly Schaeffer, Susan Broome, Ted Nyder, Tim Dodd, Tom Allen, and Zach Woods.
Present at lunch: Helen Greitzer.
With light snow flurries flurrying and temps in the 20s, all eighteen of the hikers who signed up for this hike also showed up. Once we got going, we all warmed up so much that someone mentioned it was a perfect day for a hike. And indeed, it was.
The process of spotting cars worked seamlessly, and if we left someone behind, we’ll never know it! During the hike, everyone stayed within sight and we were treated to two fabulous concerts by Ted Nydick, one under an arch of Echo Bridge and again under an arch of Waban bridge, which, except for the fact that one has seven arches and the other has eight, look like twins. Indeed, they both came into service the same year: 1878.
Fourteen of us had a late lunch at the Echo Bridge Cafe, one of whom was Helen. It was so nice to have her along. And, it seems that a good time and good hike was had by all.
