We had to make a last-minute parking adjustment because our Hewlett Pond lot was filled with cars for an educational event at the pond. We quickly adjusted and parked at the Visitor Center. (Thanks to everyone for being flexible!) After our introductions and a group picture, we circled around to the meadow and made our way up the warm-up hill. Russ was first to the top today, even running backward a bit to taunt us.

We welcomed Kathy today on her first AOC event! (Welcome to the club, Kathy!)

We were lucky to see Bleau on the river twice today. Both Russ and Belinda got nice photos which are added to this album.

We went over 5.5 miles today. We worked up a sweat with the warm temperature and fast pace. ~ Joyce
