HIKE REPORT
Hike Leader: Susan Sabin
~5 miles, 10:00 am start from Wellesley, MA
Hikers (13): Susan, Aiko Pinkowski, Barbara Jacobs, Dee Galacki, Elsa Lawrence, Lynell Stromberg, Marie Keutmann, Phyllis Evan, Susan Broome, Ted Nyder, Tod Cochran, and first-timers Joyce Bailey and Steve Caplow.
The day was mild with no annoying SUN from which to shield our eyes. Sandwiched as it was between wintery, gusty days on both ends, we got the pick of the week. Although we were missing several registered hikers (I later found two last minute online cancellations), we took to the trail on time. The route - in woods, on streets, over route 9, then back in woods, on streets, and finally alongside the raging Charles River to our rest and turn-around spot - was varied and had something for everyone.
We took a short break near the picnic benches where Washington visited many moons ago, and the day was so mild that everyone snacked and chatted outdoors, before heading back (street, trail, over Route 9, street, trail. The five miles flew by with so many great folks to talk to.
