Tramp & Trail

On a sunny Sunday afternoon, where temperatures were near 70, 36 Tramps came out to enjoy the spring day. There were three brand new hikers, one hiker on her third hike, and another on her 5^th.  We walked the first two miles and about half of the hikers were interested in going further. One of our new hikers, Mike Bauer, was familiar with the trail and volunteered to lead the group another mile, ending at route 12B. The leader, Mike Huss, led the remaining members back to the Boro Tavern for drinks and sandwiches. Slowly, the long-distance hikers made their way back to the Tavern to join us for a drink.

On a day when the temperature reached 26 we started with 10 people heading out on marginal snow. We had five walkers and five skiers. The skiers had to stay on the far left or right of the trail in order to find enough snow. The walkers went down the center. As we headed back, it started snowing, which made the return skiing better. After we returned eight of us headed to the Boro Tavern for drinks and conversation. As we sat at a table next to the window, we watched the snow intensify. Departing the tavern, we all had to scrape the snow off our cars before heading home.
