Hike Creaser Park, Games, Food

The Creaser Park hike and social was a great success.  We had 14 guys on the hike.  We walked around the pond then walked the red, blue, and yellow trails in the park.  The entire hike was less than an hour, and definitely easy enough for everyone to enjoy.

After the hike, some of the guys had to depart, while the rest came over the house for a smorgasborg of food and some brainstorming on future activities.  Then we played Telestrations and Boxers Or Briefs, both of which caused a lot of laughter.

Thank you to all who attended, brought food, and contributed to the merriment.  I look forward to another event soon!

Spring is upon us, and for those who need an easy hike to ease into outdoor activities, this event is for you! 

The trails within Creaser Park approximate 2 miles of hiking and should take less than an hour. We will be hiking the yellow, red, and blue trails forming a loop.  The trails are easy, with some mowed grassy areas through meadows,as well as woodland with some rocks and roots in the path.  There is a gradual ascent and decent.  It is lovely by the pond and the Skungamaug River.  A few low areas can be a bit muddy in the spring, so hiking boots would be good. For those interested in foraging, I will be keeping an eye out for edible mushrooms and spring plants along the trail. 

After the hike, let's congregate at my house for games and snacks.  Feel free to bring some of both to share.  We can also chip in for pizza (Wicked Pizza and Dimitris both have great pizzas).  This will also be a great opportunity to talk about what activities we want to lead and participate in for the coming seasons.  I would love to see a greater variety of trips around CT for this year.

I have also randomly chosen a start time of 11 AM.  If there is a concensus to start earlier or later, I would be happy to change the start time.
