This week we hike our annual trek from Straus Park to the Art Loeb and Stoney Knob Trail before retracing our steps. We will meet at the parking area by the Straus Park garden area (if you need directions, let me know). Meet at 8:45 for a 9 a.m. start. Please RSVP to yeagerd@hanover.edu.

Sunny. High 53F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

I will be retiring as co-leader of the Hoofers at the end of the year. I will still hike with the group, but it is time to let another of our hikers join Vic in leadership. Vic does a lot of the heavy lifting and is a great mentor, so don’t think leadership is beyond your abilities. We have several hikers who would be able co-leaders so give it some consideration and let us know if you are interested. Thanks. —gdy
