Arnold Arboretum in February

I want to thank everyone for coming out to the Arboretum hike yesterday.  We enjoyed hiking on a fresh 2" to 3" of new fallen snow on top of the foot plus we received earlier in the week.  We hope to do a hike like this at the Arnold every month or so.  Hopefully I'll see some or all of you return for another hike next month or so.

This is a continuation of the walk setup last month by HikerBud.  We have a hike of a little over 3 miles planned but we can adapt the length and route to the desires of the group.  This hike is a good way to find out what this club is about, meet up with old as well to make new friends.  Dress in layers, hats, gloves, winter hiking boots etc. as New England weather can be variable.  You may want to bring a couple of bottles of water.  It's also a good place to find out what it would be like to carry a small backpack.  We will meet at the Administration building, just inside the main gate at the front door.  There are some benches there.   There is a small museum as well as bathrooms in the administration building.  We are hoping to make this monthly hike.  We are hoping others will step forward to lead this hike, this will be the first hike I lead.  For those that are interested there is a restaurant nearby where we can walk to for dinner and refreshments afterwards.
