Hello Hikers!
Wed March 28
Road walk in Enfield and Newfield — Woodard, Stone House, Van Ostrand and Burdge Hill roads
The storm that dropped a half-inch of rain overnight ended just as we got to the trail head
It was exceptionally nice in the aftermath — calm, misty, a lovely mildness to the air — the ditches were full of runoff and there were blackbirds singing in the abandoned and overgrown farm fields — it felt like spring had suddenly popped
We were in a very quiet area tucked in the SW corner of Treman SP — a very pleasing mix of occasional houses, woods, overgrown fields and actively maintained fields
After a while the terrain starts to rise and we began to get some great distant views
Without comparing notes or talking about it at all, Tiger and I both decided we would love to live on Woodard Road amid the raggedy old fields
Official head count: 11H, three D

Lick Brook from Town Line Road, Danby
Official head count for the hike: 28H, eight D
Easter party at Hobit’s
A few people who hiked couldn’t make it to the get-together — but quite a number of people who didn’t hike showed up — Hobit solved the problem of congestion in the kitchen by moving the food down to the living room
Very nice festive vibe
