Report to Hikers: week of July 25-July 31

Hello Hikers

Wednesday July 27

Harford-Slaterville Road, north on the FLT to Hammond Hill SF

You’ll probably never hike here — this is an obscure trail in the middle of nowhere — but if you ever do, be sure to stay behind the white line on the edge of the pavement

This is a high-speed stretch of road in the middle of a blind S-curve and the cars and pickups sometimes come through moving pretty fast

Luckily our hikers know the drill by now — some years back, we used to have a problem with hikers not staying out of the roadway

The business with the passing cars is always the only excitement here — otherwise it’s s straightforward country trail — shady. a bit steep on the outbound leg, some nice scenery

Back at the cars — you can see everyone’s still staying behind the white line

Official head count: 18H, one D

Treman SP on the FLT

As reported to me by Jack V:

Ten hikers shaped up in the parking lot — started to rain and then pour just as they stepped off — they stopped immediately under the Route 13 bridge over Enfield Creek — stood there for about half an hour schmoozing and waiting for the rain to stop — when it didn’t, half of them went to Wegmans for coffee — the others went home. You can see some of the hikers as they were shaping up in Jack’s online photo here.
