About us
If you love to walk and meet people outside of the usual places, this group is for you. It's open to everyone of all ages. (It's not a hiking group -- we won't be climbing anything -- though hikers are welcome.) 😊
We'll visit some of the best spots, including safe trails, in Kennebec and Somerset counties. If the group grows, we can schedule visits farther away.
• Walks will average 2-4 miles.
• Lunch or dinner (including takeout, picnics, etc.) or visiting a nearby local event is an option after the walk.
• Meetings will last a few hours and take place mostly on weekends and occasional weekdays, like Fridays, at least twice a month.
It's a chance to get out more and meet new people while you enjoy a favorite pastime.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you and walking with you sometime.
Event cancellations/rescheduling: If there will be a major wind or rainstorm or it will be hot and humid without a breeze (80 degrees Fahrenheit or above), the event will be cancelled and rescheduled. I'll try to give at least 48 hours' notice.

Colby College Campus "Iconic Spots" Walk - Waterville
The Gordon Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, Alumni Drive, Waterville, ME, USDuring this walk, we'll see some of the most well-known buildings on campus.
Starting from the Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts (opposite residence hall construction), we'll view the Miller Library, where graduations take place, the Museum of Art, and sports fields.
We'll later cross the street near Johnson Pond before we eye dorm buildings on the way to Lorimer Chapel, Cotter Union, and the Foss and Dana Dining Halls.
Some paths are concrete, others are brick-lined or paved, with slight inclines. If we're up to it, we can lengthen the walk and visit other buildings like Cotter Union or stop for lunch on (the Joseph Family Spa, Dana) or off campus.
Length: Two to three miles, depending on our pace and route (45 minutes to an hour).
Where we'll meet: Near the front entrance to the glass Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts building, between the metal sculpture on the right and the large stone sign on the left. If you use GPS, please set it for "The Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts." It's on Alumni Drive. (Sorry, I can't provide an exact address.)
Parking is available in the South/Lunder/Alumni lots to the right of the front of the building, opposite the Foss/Woodman dorm building. Look for the dark brown, blue, and white parking lot sign. If you're coming in from Mayflower Hill, it will be on the outskirts of campus.
