Welcome to the November 5th edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures.

Joey has asked me to fill in for him this week because he could not make it but CC did as a pack dog, so I’ll see what I can do. This week we started our hike at Lantern Hill on a cool and breezy morning, climbing to the top to see the beauty of our world. The trees are in there full fall splendor of colors. They looked like very colorful tops of fluffy clouds. The initial immediate climb was a little shock to our system, so we rested a little and moved on. The trail led us down the short side of the hill, through the rolling hillsides, through the North Stonington town dump, across Winectog Hill road, back in to more rolling hillsides, to the dammed beaver pond at Rt. 2.



The ducks unlimited org. has helped to fund a new bridge to cross the waterfall. We then moved on to the last leg of the trail; to our turn around point , up the hill toward Wyassup lake. There was a little confusion as to where the top was , so we went on a little further than we planned, but not far. We did the loopy loop and made our way back. We crossed trails with 3 young ladies going down the back side of Lantern Hill ,through the crevice where we all had little trouble getting up. Most of us were pretty tired by now, because of all of the ups, we have been hiking mostly flat trails lately. We finished the rest of the trail back to the cars.



Debby went home and the rest of us met Jody at chili's for lunch. Well that's all for now, hopefully Joey will do the rest of these news letters.
