Tramp & Trail

Our group of 14 met at the trailhead on Tarbell Road in Long Lake to hike north along the trail rather than south.   It was a beautiful day for a hike as we hiked with glimpses of Long Lake through mature hardwood forest.   We lunched on stone staircases which lead down to the water: remnants of a hotel that was once on Kelly’s point.

Returning on the same trail, in true Tramp style, we had watermelon and beer when we reached the trailhead!    Later that evening all returned to the Higgerson Camp for a potluck, where for effect, Meg and Bill had prearranged to have a number of deer swim across the lake to our shore.  To end the evening, a number of us then went to the 40 minute fireworks spectacular sponsored by the town of Newcomb.
