Afton to Paul Wolfe Shelter - September 26, 2015

     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!
