Hail to the Hale and Hearty Hikers!
The inclement weather predicted for this Thursday makes it prudent to postpone our hike until the following Monday, President’s Day. While a bit of an inconvenience, this postponement fortuitously makes it possible to change our venue to the Saugatuck Falls Natural Area in West Redding and make use of the John Read Middle School vacant parking lot, located directly across from the entrance. These woods are gorgeous, the path is wide, and the elevation nearly flat. So even if there is some residual snow cover, our footing should be secure. Spouses, friends and dogs on leash are welcome. While we can always eat at our reliable stand-by, Oren’s Diner, if you have a more local suggestion, do not hesitate to be in touch with Lee or myself.
Per usual, for those wishing to carpool, we will meet at the back of the DCA parking lot at 9:30 AM and sort rides. NOTE – if you plan to park your car at the DCA, please make sure you park in the DCA’s back lot, close to the Nature Preserve.
