The full moon in June is named such because this was the time to pick wild strawberries. On this rainy evening we hiked under umbrellas or raincoats up the switchbacks at Valley View Golf Course. As we descended back to the pavilion we were greeted with a lovely clear sunset but still no Strawberry Moon. It was too…

Leader: Jim Wasielewski Co-Leader: Lorrie Wasielewski Write-up: Jim Wasielewski Seven of us hiked 6.5 miles on a cloudy, misty day. However the rain held off. The bugs did not and we needed our bug-netting. Typical spring day in the Adirondacks.

Write-up: Kathy Countryman Leader: Kathy Countryman Co-Leader: Francis Roy We kicked off the holiday weekend with a 5-mile hike around Eaton Brook Reservoir, making it back to the cars just as it started to rain. Nineteen folks participated, and some of us stopped for a tasty lunch at Ray Brothers BBQ on the way home.

Write-up: Carolyn Eastman Leader: Carolyn Eastman Co-Leader: Darlene Whittaker With thunderstorms booming and heavy rain coming down I decided that it was not a good day to be in the woods, as in Winnie the Pooh we didn’t want to find “Heffalumps and Woozles beware beware…” Darlene came up with a great idea of hiking three local hikes instead because the weather was to be better in Utica than the Adirondacks. We decided to take Tigger along with us on…
