Report to Hikers: week of July 24-July 30

Hello Hikers!

Wednesday July 26

Diane’s Crossing to Hill Road, Danby SF

Official head count: 19H, four D

Saturday July 29

Lick Brook

This hike was led by Jack V, who took the photos

Official head count: 20H, one D

You can see Jack’s photos from the hike and the cook-out afterwards here. I chose the shots to illustrate the hike report from this album. I had to crop the shots to use in this report — Jack just got a new camera and it produces such large files (24 MP) that I wasn’t able to upload them to the web site without cropping them.

Update on the Saturday afternoon cook-out

It broke up sometime after 10 pm. A large amount of baked clams were eaten toward the end. Our food coordinator Liz asked me to post this comment from her:

Hello Hikers!

What a wonderful day we had at our annual summer hiker’s picnic! The weather was perfect, the venue was amazing, the food preparation went on without a hitch. A big thank you to all who helped, including the set up crew, the cooks, the clean up crew, everyone who provided a dish-to-pass, Roger and Gunilla for hosting us, and of course Steven and Susan for being at the helm.

Because of everyone’s generosity, All the bills were paid, and we have $120 extra. Last year, about that amount went to pay for the annual fee to maintain the hiker’s website. Since Mary already collected monies for that during a previous event, this year I will present Steven and Susan with a gift certificate to a restaurant of their choosing. They are so generous in their time and efforts that this meant to be a little thank you, from all of us.

It is a pleasure to coordinate this event. I look forward to seeing everyone on the trails, in a kayak, or at another of our social events throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Liz Kyle

Here are two final shots from the cook-out that I didn’t have room for in yesterday’s photo report:
