👣 Ponkapoag Pond hike, then food and drinks

THE HIKE:
We will walk around Ponkapoag Pond. Afterward, we might gather for food and beverages. My estimate is a 5 mile hike for about 3 hours. We will walk at a moderate pace over uneven rocky terrain with very little elevation gain. Your end time must be flexible.

AFTER HIKE, FOOD AND DRINKS:
After the hike, we might gather for food and drinks. Suggestions:

• Hillside Pub, 2 Royall Ave, Canton, MA 02021x
• Trillium Brewing Company, 100 Royall St, Canton, MA 02021

OR hot chocolate at Dunkin or Starbucks

PRE-HIKE MEETING SPOT:
Use the parking lot on Blue Hill River Road, which is across the street from Eileen Road. If the parking lot is full, you are able to use the neighborhood. I will be in the southwest corner of the parking lot, which is nearest the road and farthest from the entrance.

DRESS:

• Hiking boots or good athletic shoes.
• Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Dress in layers as needed. Non-cotton clothing works best.
• Bring water, snacks and any personal medicines you may need as well.

RSVP RESPONSIBLY:
I am only a volunteer. I will be waiting at the trail starting point, and I will be expecting you. I look forward to meeting you. Update your RSVP (don't wait until the day of the event) if you can't make it.

• Members only. No guests permitted.
• Members must have a valid photo.
