Cooler temperatures prevailed today so back to a D3 we went - a good 6+ miles under our belts. But today was more about our celebration! Five "originals" of the Three Years Island Ford Hike joined us today - Joyce T., Suzanne W., Doug H., Jeff W. and Mike C. Susan F. was also present - she gets recognized as being on the second hike of this three year journey. With proper permission, we were able to start off our hike/celebration with 23 hikers! The celebration began at the end of the hike only to be continued at North River Tavern where we had 23 folks around the long, long table. Mike M., another "original " hiker joined us for the celebration along with Regina C., Tracy's guest. Our lunch was followed by cake and cookies! What a great day it was. Thanks to all of you who made this day special!! ~ Carol

A note from Joyce:  Thank you all so much for making this a very special day of celebration.  I loved hearing the friendly chatter throughout the hike, and felt so appreciative of all of the loyal members who have made this hike a "family affair" each week.  We've lost many of our regular participants over the years (we spoke a lot about Divya today), but we've also added many new folks who soon became regulars.  Let's hope the end of our 4th year next May finds us all together, enjoying good health and happy hiking.  ~ Joyce
