We
ain’t no hiking sissies!!! Three veteran hikers Susanna Williams, John
Brandt and avid hiker/visitor Jacque Ensign met hike leader Kelly
O’Rourke on this rainy day to go hikn’ come what may! We decided to
forgo the long drive out to Nicholson Hollow in favor of a closer local
hike, so we drove up to Afton, jumped on the AT and walked to the Paul
Wolfe shelter. We must have passed 8-10 hikers; some were back packers
who had stayed in the shelter the night before. There were still a few
people hanging out in the shelter when we got there. Well, just so you
all feel bad about your decision to stay home and not join us…..we never
saw the first drop of rain! It was beautiful walking through the mist
and our visitor felt quite at home since she currently lives in Seattle.
We had a great time and were back at the high school by 2:30. Jacque
was a member of the club in the early 90’s and hopefully will join us
again next week!
