As the Bard once famously said, “My Kingdom for a Snowshoe!”
On Thursday, February 12, the Hale and Hardy hikers will traverse the
coastal flatlands at Sherwood Island Park, located just off Exit 18 on
I-95. We will set out to the west from the pavilion lot, circumnavigate
the wooded island, head back along the sandy shore to the creek and then
U-turn back to our cars. This tract logs in at about three miles.
Per usual, for those wishing to carpool, we will meet in the DCA parking
lot at 9:30 a.m. For those choosing to go directly, there is more than
ample parking. According to the website (Sherwood Island State Park |
Connecticut State Parks and Forests), dogs are allowed, as this is
off-season. For those wishing to share a repast following the hike, we
will be dining at The Horseshoe Café at 355 Pequot Avenue in Southport.
This hike might require a “game-time” decision, as the present
accumulation of snow precludes our ability to pull this off. So put the
date on your calendar and stay tuned for updates!
Please RSVP to Alec Wiggin at alec@aared.com if you are interested.
