On a sunny Sunday, August 14^th 2016, eight Tramps took off down the Blueberry Trail.

And what was so unusual about this day? Why, there were 4 men and an equal number of women. That NEVER happens! We women always outnumber them. And so we took off over hill and dale. Oh yeah, and through our special blend of Adirondack mud.

To Catpaw Lake we went, and had a beautiful, peaceful lunch (Dick wasn’t there!)

On our return trip, we took a side spur to Shingle Mills Falls. The water was moving fast as it had rained just days before.

We explored the Falls and had one mishap as someone slipped on a rock. So we did have our splash after all! Thanks Mike!!

On Saturday, March 26th, THIRTY-TWO people decided to drive on up to the Blueberry Trail near Brantingham Lake. It was a very beautiful sunny day, though cool, actually great hiking temperatures. The trail still had sections of ice, so treading carefully or walking off to the side was a must.

We took the spur over to Shingle Mills Falls and people got ‘lost’ roaming around seeing the different little cascades. After about 30 minutes, we got back together to continue on to Catpaw Lake, walking through an open field of wild blueberries. Reaching Catpaw, some people stopped at this shore to eat lunch, while others went ‘down’ the shore to get up the ‘rise’ for views of all the Paws. (“Yes Jim, I went down to rise !!!”)

We spent almost an hour enjoying the sun, solitude, and/or catching up with friends before the return trip. And we brought back all 32!!!!
