Please join us for a hike around our property and that of our wonderful neighbors. Following our hike, please join us for a holiday celebration social at our home.
We have two hikes planned. We did pre-hikes on the 6th and 7th in 6 inches of snow. The trees were beautiful, with snow caught on all the branches. But most of the snow will be gone soon, and I can’t predict the weather for Sunday. Expect wet conditions so waterproof boots and walking sticks will be helpful, although not required.
Linda will be leading the Tourist/Naturalists on a new trail along our creek. This trail follows the creek through native woods with three crossings of the creek on stepping stones. We then climb a short hill out of the lower part of the valley to an open field, and continue up past my niece’s cabin through a managed woods and back to the house. Adjustments may be made based on time.
Meanwhile, Mark will lead the Climbers up trails to the top of our hill, exploring the various trees and likely a bit of family history on the way. We will do a loop through the forest, back down to the creek, and finish along part of the Tourist trail to house.
Following the hike, please join us for a dish to pass holiday social. We will have a ham to share. Please bring a dish to pass and your preferred beverage or contribute $5 to the social fund.
Please click on Directions above for complete directions to the hike. When you arrive, you may park in the driveway or on the road. Remember that it will be dark after the social, so you may want to turn you car around while parking to simplify your escape later.
If you use your GPS, it may recommend coming by way of Strutt St in Springwater. This will take you on dirt roads. Do not turn on Schribner Rd from Strutt St, because that road is nearly impassable. Instead, go south on Strutt St from Schribner and continue straight up the hill on Quanz Rd. Continue past Fox Rd and turn left on Giles Rd. Take it easy, and you should make it. I suspect next time you will follow the directions via Tabors Corners.
