A bright sunny day, temps in the 50’s, a 1:00 pm start on a Sunday and the Tramps came out in droves! We had 44 sign in and we proceeded to divide into 2 groups for a “timed” hike.

Group 1, lead by George were to take a relatively flat hike down the Old Railroad bed for as far as they could go in 1 hour. After one hour they would turn around and hike back. 

Meg’s group was to trek up West Hill the hard way… through green fields, fields with corn stubble and “Bessie’s finest,” woods, snow, mud, slush and streams. Meg had gotten permission from the owner to cross the posted land. We saw a number of the obstacles set up for the Deansboro Mud Run and all wished we were better dressed to try them out!! Almost to Green Vedder Road, the clock ran out on our hour and we turned around to slip and slide back to Deansboro and “the Boro.”
