What we’re about
This is a hiking group for people who, like me, take life at a slow and steady pace. I love the outdoors, travel and hiking. Like the tortoise, I keep a steady pace and always get there in the end. Hikes will be mostly medium-length ( 2 - 6 miles) with elevation gains of under 1500 feet and a pace of book time +50%. Older people who have slowed down, younger folks who are just starting out, people who are overweight and want to get moving, people who are recovering from an injury, people who occasionally like to stop and take pictures or smell the roses...anyone who wants to take things at a slower pace. Hikes and other events take place all year round and in various locations!

Boston Ballet celebrates the coming of spring with three vibrant works, with innovation and boundary-pushing at the core. On the program is Blake Works III, a masterful set of choreography by William Forsythe set to the dynamic music of British electronic musician and producer James Blake. Jiri Kylian's much loved Bella Figura will also be performed, a hauntingly beautiful piece exploring intimacy and human connection.
Finally, Boston Ballet will premiere a brand new work by Ken Ossala, commissioned specially for this show. Inspired by the sculpture work of Michelango, the piece features a score by Mischa Santora, music director for the Boston Ballet.Meet up for some excellent ramen or noodles before the performance! Come to Wens Noodle and Ramen at 144 Tremont St at 6:00pm.
- Camping at Wells State ParkWells State Park, Sturbridge, MA
Wells State Park is in Sturbridge, right off the Mass Pike! It's kind of a hidden gem...close to home, but on a lake with decent camp-sites and some hiking trails. I use it for my first camping trip of the year as a kind of "shake-down" trip so I can check my gear and setup before I venture further afield.
I will be at site 21 - nice view of the lake and easy put-in for my kayak. There are still plenty of sites available - some right on the lake. No electric, but RVs allowed. There are also some yurts. Flush toilets and showers. Go HERE to book a site.
Anyone brave enough to come...we can connect and sit around a fire, cook, kayak and just kind of get into nature's groove. I'm not planning any specific events.
NOTE: If the weather looks absolutely awful, I will cancel my site. I'm not that crazy.
