This Sunday’s outing will be at the Bristol Harbour Resort overlooking Canandaigua Lake. We will meet in the parking lot for the Lodge and Golf Course. The Robert Trent Jones golf course is an 18 hole course that has paths which can be used in winter for walking, cross country skiing and snow shoeing. This is a scenic course with hills, ponds, woodlots and views of the lake. It is open to the public at no charge for these winter activities.
Once there, we will break into groups based on people’s interests. If there is enough snow and you would like to cross country ski or snow shoe, come prepared with your equipment as they do not have rentals. Cold temperatures are forecast for this weekend so everyone should dress accordingly.
Our after hike social will be in the tavern in the Lodge which was built and is furnished in a rustic Adirondack style.

At 10:00, I talked with Wendy, and we are both looking forward to an invigorating hike. Unfortunately, they golf course is mostly grass still, so we will be walking the cart paths. We will split into two groups – a longer hike and a shorter hike. And if we get too cold, the lodge is right on the golf course. See you all this afternoon.
It’s definitely cold out there. Our thermometer reads minus 8, Canandaigua weather reports -16. Temperatures around 10 are predicted from 2:00PM. So dress warmly, bring your skis, and plan for some vigorous exercise. If you bring your dog, please remember that they get cold also.
